Traffic Lights Controller

The document describes a simple traffic light controller using a state machine. The controller has 4 states that cycle through to control 4 lights at an intersection. Each light is green for 20 seconds, then yellow for 5 seconds, while the others remain red, before moving to the next light. A state diagram and state table illustrate how the controller transitions between the 4 states based on a timer value from 0 to 100, then resets to 0 to repeat the cycle.

Traffic Lights Controller

By -

Abhishek Jaisingh ( 14114002 )

A simple traffic light controller can be implemented by a state machine that has a state
diagram such as the one shown in Figure. Its state progresses according the value of the timer
used . When the value of timer reaches a specific value, the state of the system changes .

A set of 4 traffic lights have been designed for a 4 – way junction as shown.

The states are defined in terms of the output . Timer goes from 0 to 100 and then it is reset to
0. Each light is programmed to run as follows:

1. It is GREEN for 20 s.
2. Then it remains YELLOW for 5s.

During this time all other lights remain RED.

This process is continued for all the lights successively.
