Traffic Signal Control System with PLC

This document is a project report on developing a traffic signal controlling system using a programmable logic controller (PLC). It aims to reduce waiting times at intersections by intelligently assigning priorities to traffic movements. The system consists of a PLC controller connected to hardware including red, yellow, and green traffic lights. The PLC uses ladder logic programming to control the light sequences and timers based on inputs from start/stop buttons. Diagrams show the logic for starting the main switch, running yellow light timers, and turning on green light timers in sequence. The project helps students learn PLC interfacing, ladder programming, and applying PLCs to real-world control applications.

Introduction to PLC
• A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC)
is an industrial computer control system that
continuously monitors the state of input
devices and makes decisions based upon a
custom program to control the state of
output devices.
Our project
Project introduction
• Traffic signals control vehicle and pedestrian traffic by assigning priorities to various traffic movements to
influence traffic flow. Properly designed, located and maintained traffic signals have one or more of these
advantages:
•  
• Provide for orderly movement of traffic;
• Increase traffic-handling capacity of an intersection;
• Reduce frequency and severity of certain types of crashes, especially right-angle collisions;
• Provide for continuous movement of traffic at a definite speed along a given route;
• Interrupt heavy traffic at intervals to permit other vehicles or pedestrians to cross.
•  
• Traffic signals are not a solution for all traffic problems at intersections, and unwarranted signals can
adversely affect the safety and efficiency of traffic by causing one or more of the following:
•  
• Excessive delay;
• Increased traffic congestion, air pollution and fuel consumption;
• Disobedience of signals;
• Increased use of less-adequate streets to avoid traffic signals;
• Increased frequency of crashes, especially rear-end collisions.
Structure of Traffic Light signal model

• The main aim in designing and developing of


the Traffic Signal is to reduce the waiting time
of each lane of the cars and also to maximize
the total number of cars that can cross an
intersection. The Intelligent Traffic Signal
Control System consists of two important
parts. The first part is the PLC controller and
second part is hardware. These usually
comprise of red, yellow, and green lights
Logic Description
•
Two-way traffic interaction is considered for
designing the traffic light for the given
location. When the START push button is
pressed sequence shown in Table 8.1 takes
place. When START button is not pressed or
the STOP button is pressed the yellow light on
both direction (SOUTH and EAST) will flash
continuously until the START button is ON.

CONCLUSIONS

• This PLC Trainer kit is an experimental platform, by using this ladder


logics programs can be checked. This equipment is specially built
for teaching and student community. Following are the some of the
important from the project work.
•  
•
Helps in understanding the PLC interfacing Helps in understanding
the Lift/Elevator programming.
• Kit is modular and can be connected to any application.
• Ladder programming helps to develop complex logic programs with
ease.
• Wherever needed sensors can be used instead of limit switch
