A Traffic Light Control System Design

Traffic light control systems need to be reliable, safe and efficient. The objective of this project is to design such a system by using analog and digital electric/electronic components and devices. The developed system has two different control modes that are adapted to an electronic detector. The timing parameters for both modes can be adjusted to fit any specific intersection needs. The National Instruments Circuit Design Suite 12.0 was used to simulate, analyze, and troubleshoot this system. A prototype was constructed on the NI Elvis II platform to demonstrate its performance. This system can be modified and expanded easily
