INTRODUCTION
A microprocessor has been incorporated into a
traffic light simulator. It is being used to teach
undergraduate industrial engineers about software
development and basic concepts of interfacing. The
simulator combines hardware, software,
documentation into a compact portable package
which can be locally constructed. It provides a
useful part of the study program required to develop
the skills industrial engineers need for industrial
control.
The main aim of this project is to design a
Traffic light controller using 8085 microprocessor.
The 8085 Microprocessor is a popular
Microprocessor used in Industries for various
this project, the traffic lights are interfaced to
Microprocessor system through buffer and ports of
programmable peripheral Interface 8255. So the
traffic lights can be automatically switched
ON/OFF in desired sequence. The Interface board
has been designed to work with parallel port of
Microprocessor system.
The hardware of the system consists of two
parts. The first part is Microprocessor based system
with 8085. Microprocessor as CPU and the
peripheral devices like EPROM, RAM, Keyboard
& Display Controller 8279, Programmable as
Peripheral Interface 8255, 26 pin parallel port
connector, 21 keys Hexa key pad and six number of
and
seven segment LED’s.
The second part is the traffic light controller
interface board, which consist of 36 LED’s in
which 20 LED’s are used for vehicle traffic and
they are connected to 20 port lines of 8255 through
Buffer. Remaining LED’s are used for pedestrian
traffic. The traffic light interface board is
connected to Main board using 26 core flat cables
to 26-pin Port connector. The LED’s can be
switched ON/OFF in the specified sequence by the
Microprocessor.

FIG.2: LAYOUT OF TRAFFIC LIGHTS

a primary object of the invention to provide a
traffic light control and information transmission
device that applies the existing broadband network
to transmit data between the central traffic control
computer and themicroprocessors of the cross roads
to avoid the installation of the cables and save the
construction cost.
In order to achieve the objective set forth, a traffic
light control and information transmission device in
accordance with the present invention comprises a
microprocessor on the cross road, the
microprocessor further connects to a traffic
lightcontroller, an electronic display board, a video
camera, a compression circuitry, an I/O interface, a
traffic flow detector and connected to the central
traffic control computer through the DSL (Digital
Subscriber Loop). The control signals, traffic,public
information or news of the central traffic control
computer can go through the DSL to the
microprocessor; the microprocessor can control the
traffic light and display all the information on the
electronic display board. The traffic flow data ofthe
cross roads can be accessed by the traffic flow
detector and the video camera and transmitted back
to the central traffic control computer.

LED’s are provided to indicate Halt, Wait and Go
signals for vehicles. Combination of red and green
LED’s are provided for pedestrian crossing. 36
LED’s are arranged in the form of an intersection.
A typical junction is represented on the PCB with
comprehensive legend printing.
At the left corner of each road, a group of five
LED’s (red, amber and 3 green) are arranged in the
form of a T-section to control the traffic of that
road. Each road is named North (N), South(S), East
(E) and West (W). LED’s L1, L10, L19 & L28
(Red) are for the stop signal for the vehicles on the
road N, S, W, & E respectively. L2, L11, L20 &
L29 (Amber) indicates wait state for vehicles on the
road N, S, W, & E respectively. L3, L4 & L5
(Green) are for left, strait and right turn for the
vehicles on road S. similarly L12-L13-L14, L23-
L22-L21 & L32-L31-L30 simulates same function
for the roads E, N, W respectively.
A total of 16 LED’s (2 Red & 2 Green at each road)
are provided for pedestrian crossing. L7-L9.L16-
L18, L25-L27 & L34-L36 (Green) when on allows
pedestrians to cross and L6-L8, L15-L17, L24-L26
& L33-L35 (Red) when on alarms the pedestrians to
wait.
To minimize the hardware pedestrian’s indicator
LED’s (both red and green are connected to same
port lines (PC4 to PC7) with red inverted. Red
LED’s L10 & L28 are connected to port lines PC2
& PC3 while L1 & L19 are connected to lines PC0
& PC1 after inversion. All other LED’s (amber and
green) are connected to port A
& B.
