Hardware For Traffic Signal Control: Statement

This document describes a microprocessor system to control traffic signals at an intersection with traffic flowing north-south and east-west. The system uses an 8255 programmable peripheral interface chip to control 12 relays and electric bulbs that indicate the traffic signals. Software is provided to cycle through the traffic light patterns, spending 20 seconds for each direction before a 5 second yellow transition period. Port A controls the north-south lights and Port B the east-west lights by sending data to activate the appropriate relays.

Statement: 

Design a microprocessor system to control traffic signals. The


traffic light arrangement is as shown in Fig. The traffic should be controlled
in the following manner.
1) Allow traffic from W to E and E to W transition for 20 seconds. 2) Give
transition period of 5 seconds (Yellow bulbs ON) 3) Allow traffic from N to 5
and 5 to N for 20 seconds 4) Give transition period of 5 seconds (Yellow bulbs
ON) 5) Repeat the process.

HARDWARE FOR TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL

Fig. shows the interfacing diagram to control 12 electric bulbs. Port A is used
to control lights on N-S road and Port B is used to control lights on W-E road.
Actual pin connections are listed in Table 1 below.

The electric bulbs are controlled by relays. The 8255 pins are used to control
relay on-off action with the help of relay driver circuits. The driver circuit
includes 12 transistors to drive 12 relays. Fig. also shows the interfacing of
8255 to the system.
