Variable Traffic Controller



Our project is a Traffic Controller that is sensible to traffic condition and adjust the traffic lights accordingly.

Our project tries to simulate the traffic at an intersection, and with the use of sensors (Hall Effect in our case), we adjust the traffic of the intersection base on both the waiting time at the traffic light, as well as the rate at which cars passes the particular traffic light. We decided to have 3 levels of traffic condition, which leads to a total of 6 combinations of traffic conditions. Using these we are able to generate the appropriate timing for the traffic lights.

The software consisted of three parts:
Traffic Light: The traffic light system itself;
Users' Inputs: The input from the pedestrian;
Sensors' Inputs: The input from the sensors and the mechanism which modifies the traffic condition.
The hardware consisted of three parts as well:
The Model: Where we simulate and test the traffic controller;
Breadboard: The
