Abstract :
This paper deals with more efficient and effective way of handling the random and busy traffic pattern on Indian roads. The purpose of this paper is to flush out the concept of nondynamic traffic light controller TLC (with fixed counters irrespective of traffic intensity) existing in INDIA and other developing nations. This AD-TLC concept will save time and will smoothen the traffic flow by avoiding heavy rush in this densely populated country. The proposed TLC is more appropriate as road selection has been suitably prioritized on the basis of traffic intensity. The AD-TLC is designed using FSM with 32 states including a total of 255 possible combinations of active sensors. The design has been deployed in FPGA.
