Smart Traffic Control System by Using FPGA and RFID

Abstract

Abstract: Traffic problems are not only including the traffic congestion because of large vehicle tightness and causes the difficulty for emergency vehicles to reach their destination, usually red light traffic violation causes accidents in the roads. Existing proposed systems for smart traffic monitoring of vehicles are usually depending on vehicle density traffic system by using Arduino. This causes difficulty for emergency vehicles. To solve the congestion of traffic problems at intersection roads, it is necessary to implement a smart and real time traffic system. These systems are implemented and limited to at least one or two focus areas. To overcome these problems, Smart Traffic Control System using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) IR sensors and RFID (Radio frequency Identifier) is introduced to sophisticated traffic moves and provide the lane for the ambulances. The RFID uses in this system is determines the emergency vehicles from the long distance and this information passes and controlled by the FPGA and it control the main traffic control lights. Here these functionalities and simulations are achieved by using Verilog programming language and this is implemented on Xilinx 14.7 Software. The controlling and switching of the traffic lights states (Red, Yellow and Green) is found on the FSM (Finite State Machine). This system can be implemented by using Spartan 6 family. This implementation shows the results of identifying the emergency vehicles and Green signal is on till that emergency vehicles are passed.
