APPLICATION
BLOCK DIAGRAM BRIEF DESCRIPTION  There is no need of traffic inspector at the junctions for supervising the
traffic to run smoothly

Density of roads  The intelligent work which is done by traffic inspector will be perfectly
Density of roads is classified as: done by the microcontroller in the circuit with the help of sensors and
 Low the program which is coded to the microcontroller.
 Medium
 High
Priority of roads CONCLUSIONS
 If two or more roads of equal high priority any one road is opened.
 If all roads are having no traffic, yellow signal appears.  Thus from above theory we can conclude that using the method of
 No road is allowed to be closed continuously for more than maximum density based control of traffic lights we can save a considerable
duration amount of time and also we can prevent excessive traffic jams thus
 Without considering the density. leading to smooth traffic flow.
Delay of roads  In practice presently in India we are following time based control of
traffic signals and we are experiencing a heavy traffic jams all over
The delay of each road is chosen according to the density which in turn consumes lot of time and fuel. We hope these methods
 Low-20seconds will be adopted as soon as possible so that the limitations we are
 Medium-30seconds experiencing with present method can be overcome.
 High-60seconds
