INTRODUCTION

Road accidents were the third highest cause of death among Malaysians after heart diseases
and cancer. Malaysian road accident statistics reported that 25 of every 100,000 Malaysians died
in year 2003 alone (PDRM, 2004). Accident involving motorcyclists is the highest among all road
users. This is followed by car drivers including passengers, and pedestrians.
The growing numbers of vehicle have contributed to traffic conflict between pedestrians
and vehicles, which in serious cases lead to road accidents. To address this problem, the
government had launched the Motorcycle Safety Program in 1996. This program has been
successful in controlling the problem involving motorcyclists. Thus, the next group of road users
that needs attention is the pedestrian, which is categorized as a vulnerable group.
As the number of the pedestrian accident is increasing, this problem needs to be addressed
urgently. One of the main reasons that attributed to the high numbers of pedestrian accidents is
due to careless crossing. This may be due to insufficient time to cross safely, gross carelessness or
other unexpected factors. To tackle this problem, one of the alternatives is to consider pedestrian
crossing speed in roadway design and operation.
Unfortunately, no specific guidelines exist for pedestrian crossing speed in Malaysia.
Public Work Department of Malaysia has recommended 1.22 m/s (4 ft/s) as walking speed, which
is adopted from other country counterparts (JKR, 1987). Foreign guidelines may not necessarily
be adoptable for local practices. Asian pedestrians actually walk much slower compared with
Western counterparts (Tanaboriboon et al., 1986; Tanaboriboon and Guyano, 1991). Therefore, to
enhance pedestrian safety, there is a significant need to carry out a research to determine the
pedestrian crossing speed in Malaysia and the factors contributing to the crossing speed.

PROBLEM FORMAT

As an internship student, youre first at the Sinar Gemilang Sdn Bhd. The traffic
department is trying out a new system of traffic lights based on the usual Malaysian model. Figure
3 shows that the current situation whereby there is no traffic light for pedestrian. The purpose of

3
the traffic light controller is to ease school childrens and parents to cross the road safety by using
pedestrian.
You have been assigned to create the software for this system using LabVIEW. You will
create the software for the pedestrian which have red and green light. Traffic lights for the cars
have red, yellow and green.

DISCUSSION

From figure 2 block diagram design, i use while loop for outer case, and flat sequence
for inner case. The concept is simple. The are 4 flat sequence. The left element inside flat case
which is 1st flat sequence will run first based on given time which is 4000ms, after the program
running from the coding on the left of flat sequence, the program will go to the 2nd flat sequence
until 4th flat sequence, then it will looping back to 1st flat sequence. However, the boolean of
traffic light need to be inside flat sequence case. Here a bit explanation on how the traffic light
will run. First 1 until 6 indicate traffic light for pedestarian, while 7 until 12 indicate traffic light
for car. So when, both pedestarian traffic light turn green, car traffic light will turn red, then
pedestarian traffic light will turn yellow while car traffic light will remain red. And when
pedesatarian traffic light turn red, car traffic light will turn green. And this looping will always
continue until user click stop button.

CONCLUSION

The task has been completed successfully with an automatic traffic light system using
LabVIEW. However user still can stop the system manually. The process on how to design an
integrated automatic traffic light really give me a practical practice and an idea on how the real
traffic light on the road works and how to program it. Form my experience, its not that hard to
program using LabView as long we understand what function in LabVIEW go for, and understand
the basic concept of the program or system that we want to make. This lab assessment 4 really
help me in understanding the program with LabView and I believe it will help me a lot in my final
year project later on, InshaaAllah.
