Traffic Light 4 Way Final

This document describes an industrial automation project to control a 4-way traffic light using a programmable logic controller (PLC). It includes an introduction to traffic lights and their purpose. The project uses push buttons, timers, and relays as components. LOGO! Soft software is used to program the PLC logic. The program uses ladder logic to sequentially activate the red, yellow, and green lights for each direction in a repeating cycle until the stop button is pressed. The goal is to improve traffic flow and safety at intersections.

INTRODUCTION
Traffic lights, also known as traffic lamps, traffic signals, stoplight, stop-and-go
lights semaphore or robots, are signaling devices positioned at pedestrian
crossings, road intersections, and other locations to control competing flows of
traffic. Traffic lights have installed in most cities around the world to control the
flow of traffic. It assigns the right of way to road users by the use of lights in standard
colors (Red - Yellow - Green), using a universal color code (and a precise
sequence, for color blind). Traffic lights are used at busy intersections to more
evenly apportion delay to the various users. The increasing amount of traffic in the
cities has a large impact on the congestion and the time it takes to reach a certain
destination. A Traffic light controller plays a very important role to control the
vehicles on the busy roads. Nowadays there are occurring many accidents because
of the lack of properly maintained traffic signals. Besides, it creates a huge
traffic jam. the flow of vehicles in most of the crossways is not properly
maintained. As a result, it is badly affected by the traffic jam. This traffic light
controller can be used to solve the traffic problem. To solve these congestion
problems, we have to build new facilities and infrastructure. The only
disadvantage of making new roads on facilities is that it makes the surroundings
more congested. So, for that reason we need to change the system rather than
making new infrastructure twice. The Main goals of this paper are improving
safety, minimizing travel time and increasing the capacity of Infrastructures. Such
improvements are beneficial to health, economy and the environment.

 Relay
• SOFTWARE
 LOGO! Soft

TRAFFIC-SIGNAL PHASE SEQUENCES


Traffic light controller must handle a four-phase signal intersection. If we
consider only straight way direction when street is on then traffic is
followed by North to South or South to North alternatively. During this EW street
traffic is stopped by Red signal. After completion of NS street now EW street
traffic is followed by East to West or West to East alternatively. If we
considered another possibility to follow traffic in another direction rather than
straightway direction, we can see from fig.1 that during street on vehicles can go
to left or right direction according to North-South direction parallel to main
direction because EW street is OFF during this. Similarly, we can say about EW
street.
Working principle
• RUNG 1:-Latching rung to operate the system through
Master start and stop push button.
• RUNG 2:-Starting the timer to turn on output East
Green, North-South-West are in red. Parallel circuits
are added to turn ON/OFF the output in up next
sequence.
• RUNG 3:-Turning on North Yellow and East Yellow.
Parallel circuits are added to turn ON/OFF the output
in up next sequence.
• RUNG 4:-Turn on East Red and North green.
• RUNG 5-6-7-8:-The same procedures followed to turn
on further outputs.
• RUNG 9:- Timer 008 is used to restart the cycle from
beginning. The program runs continuously until STOP
push button is pressed.
PROCEDURE
o Make a Ladder Logic of working of Traffic Light.
o Save the program on LOGO Soft.
o Simulate the program and check for errors.
Run the program using run option. Program is complete.

Result
• The input NO circuit I1 is turned on which in turn turns on the on-
delay timer to start its timing. The given times for the lights to turn
on or off.
Conclusion
• This 4 way traffic light control using PLC is for example and it may
vary from real time.
• We try to know and understand the working of timers and
interlocking by this example.
