In recent years, traffic Jams has become a serious problem across the globe. Current statistics reveals that, an average person spends around 4-6 months of his/her life by simply waiting for green light during traffic. Also when delay increases, it affects the commuters reach their destination so late resulting in severe consequences on day and day basis. In common, traffic can be controlled in several main junctions by incorporating either automated traffic light control system or through manual intervention by traffic police. However conventional traffic light system which involves fixed time slot allotted to each side of the junction is found to be poor efficient since it does not consider the varying traffic density. At certain instances, priority of the traffic system has to be changed dynamically based on more number of vehicles waiting on the road, arrival of VIP vehicles and ambulance vehicles etc. By considering the above facts, we have proposed an automated traffic light system which has inbuilt potential to prioritize the lane which is heavily congested. Our proposed system includes timer which runs for a specific time period and IR sensor is used to count the number of vehicles passing by during that time period. It also includes LED which is turned green on the lane with more number of vehicles. These peripherals were actuated based on the programming logic that is embedded in Arduino Mega platform. Finally, implementation results for the proposed system are provided in this paper.

Traffic congestion is a common occurrence in Indonesia. Traffic congestion is increasing from year to year, causing many things to happen, such as longer travel time, increased transportation costs, serious disruptions to transporting products, decreasing levels of work productivity, and wasteful use of labor energy. Congestion is also caused by a traffic light control system that is made with a fixed time so it can not detect the density of certain paths. Traffic lights in Indonesia, frequent damage that makes the density and the flow of his road vehicles can not be controlled. From these problems, conducted research to reduce the density of vehicles using infrared sensors and see the waiting time of the vehicle when the red light. The traffic light control system will use Fuzzy Logic Mamdani method. In Mamdani method by applying fuzzy into each variable and will be done matching between rule with condition which fulfilled to determine contents of output to be executed by prototype. This congestion detection will help the system in controlling the green light time by looking at stable, medium, and traffic jams. When the bottleneck starts to detect, the prototype will add a green light time according to the condition that is 0 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, and 15 seconds. However, when the streets are not detected by traffic jams, the green light will be back to normal at 15 seconds without additional time

Advance of a road traffic light control system using Programmable Logic Controller is the principal of the system. This system can be divided into two parts which are hardware and software. The hardware part for this system is a model of four -way junction of a traffic light. The Red, Yellow and Green are installed at each lane to represent as a traffic light signal indicator. This switches and lamps are linked to PLC. The PLC receives signal which is coming from the inputs (sensor and switch) and drives the units (lamps or relays). In the system, Siemens s7-200 PLC is used as the main controller of the traffic light system. The Step7 Micro Win software can be developed the ladder logic diagram which can control the traffic light for proposed system. So, the traffic light system can be successfully controlled by PLC.

In this paper, a density based auto traffic light control system with GSM based remote override is designed and implemented to in particular, eliminate the usual conflicting authority between the green light for the motorists/pedestrians and emergency vehicles and in general reduce very long queues of vehicular traffics at the cross-road junctions in Enugu Metropolis. Three PIC 16F877A microcontrollers, one each specifically dedicated for intelligent allocation of right of way based on vehicle densities sensing, allotting of due passage duration time, and overriding feature for emergency cases, is proposed and implemented. The traffic override is either performed by the pressure switches for density detections or the GSM module for emergency cases at any given time. The GSM remote overriding authority may be vested only on the emergency vehicle operators to override the set timing of the traffic light control system in the event of emergencies to eliminate traffic logjams and possible fatalities.

Traffic Light Control

Traffic lights have been used for decades to control and manage traffic flows crossing road intersections to increase traffic efficiency and road safety. However, relying on fixed time cycles may not be ideal in dealing with the increasing congestion level in cities. Therefore, we propose a new Adaptive Traffic Light Control System (ATLCS) to assist traffic management authorities in efficiently dealing with traffic congestion in cities. The main idea of our ATLCS consists in synchronizing a number of traffic lights controlling consecutive junctions by creating a delay between the times at which each of them switches to green in a given direction. Such a delay is dynamically updated based on the number of vehicles waiting at each junction, thereby allowing vehicles leaving the city centre to travel a long distance without stopping (i.e., minimizing the number of occurrences of the ‘stop and go’ phenomenon), which in turn reduces their travel time as well. The performance evaluation of our ATLCS has shown that the average travel time of vehicles traveling in the synchronized direction has been significantly reduced (by up to 39%) compared to non-synchronized fixed time Traffic Light Control Systems. Moreover, the overall achieved improvement across the simulated road network was 17%.
