Now a days due to ever increasing vehicles on the road,it require a efficient control on the four
way junction of road. In order to find a solution to this problem the concept of an automatic
traffic controller is conceived. Apart from providing efficient control of traffic, it also eliminate
chance of human errors since it function automatically.
The signals communicate with each other and adapt to changing traffic conditions to reduce the
amount of time that cars spend idling. Using fibre optic video receivers similar to those already
employed in dynamic control systems, the new technology monitors vehicle numbers and makes
changes in real time to avoid congestion wherever possible. Initial results from the pilot study are
encouraging: the amount of time that motorists spent idling at lights was reduced by 40% and
travel times across the city were reduced by 26%.

Methodology or Implementations:
The automatic traffic controller automatically switches on the four way junction for 15 seconds
for direction control. The main circuit components used are 555-Timer and 4- bit binary
synchronous counter (74160). The 555-Timer generates a clock signal for 15 seconds. This
signal is used to clock counter circuit. Binary counter is converted to 3 bitcounter to achieve 8
possible cases. The traffic light control is done by different Boolean function of logic gate.
Timer 555 (IC1) is wired as an astable multivibrator to generate clock signal for the 4-bit counter
74160 (IC2). The time duration of IC1 can be adjusted by varying the value of resistor R1,
resistor R2, or capacitor C2 of the clock circuit. Thelon time duration T is given by the following
relationship's = 0.695C2(R1+R2)
