Design and implementation of intersection traffic light control for optimal traffic flow

Abstract

This paper delves into the pressing issue of enhancing urban transportation efficiency and introduces a design for a traffic light system tailored for intersections. Rooted in the foundations of digital logic circuits, the design seeks to masterfully regulate traffic flow using a sophisticated state-switching algorithm. Both the principle and intricate design of this system are thoroughly discussed in this paper, accompanied by a comprehensive circuit diagram. To tackle the pervasive challenge of traffic congestion, this document outlines several avant-garde techniques for traffic flow detection. One notable method employs infrared light detection, utilizing a light receiving tube to capture real-time vehicular movement. Another method harnesses the video detection approach, relying on pixel occupancy ratio computations to gauge traffic density. By adopting these techniques, urban traffic administrators can gain a deeper insight into the nuances of traffic flow. This enriched understanding paves the way for more informed adjustments to the traffic signal cycling system, promising to mitigate congestion and elevate overall traffic efficiency.
