Conclusion
In today’s high speed life, traffic congestion becomes a
serious issue in our day to day activities. It brings down
the productivity of individual and thereby the society as
lots of work hour is wasted in the signals.. It indirectly
also adds to the increase in pollution level as engines
INTRODUCTI remain on in most cases, a huge volume of natural
ON resources in forms of petrol and diesel is consumed
without any fruitful outcome. Therefore, in order to get
rid of these problems or at least reduce them to
significant level, newer schemes need to be
implemented by bringing in sensor based automation
technique in this field of traffic signalling system.
Our project aims at reducing traffic congestion and
unwanted long time delay during the traffic light
switch overs especially when the traffic is very low.
It is designed to be implemented in places nearing
OBJECTIVE the junctions where the traffic signals are placed, in
OF THE order to reduce the congestion in these junctions.
PROJECT The main purpose of this project is, if there will be no
traffic on the other signal, one shouldn’t wait for that
signal. The system will skip that signal and will move
on the next one.

The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller
board . It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which
ARDUINO 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs,
MEGA 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal
oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP
header, and a reset button.
An ultrasonic sensor is an electronic
device that measures the distance of
a target object by emitting ultrasonic
sound waves, and converts the
ULTRASONI reflected sound into an electrical
C SENSOR signal.
In this project the sensor is used to
detect vehicles from the traffic signal
area.
A breadboard, solderless breadboard,
Breadboard’ or protoboard is a construction base used to build
s semi-permanent prototypes of electronic circuits.
LED is know as light-emitting diode.in this project it
LED is used to give traffic signal indications.
steps
• If there is traffic at all the signals, then the
system will work normally by controlling the
signals one by one.
• If there is no traffic near a signal, then the
system will skip this signal and will move on
to the next one. For example, if there is no
WORKING vehicle at signal 2, 3 and currently the
PRINCIPAL system is allowing vehicles at signal 1 to
pass. Then after signal 1, the system will
move on to signal 4 skipping signal 2 and 3.
• If there is no traffic at all the 4 signals,
system will stop at the current signal and will
only move on the next signal if there will be
traffic at any other signal.
