AN OVERVIEW OF INTELLIGENT TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM USING PLC AND USE OF CURRENT DATA OF VEHICLE TRAVELS

Abstract

We know there is an evolution of atomization in technological field. So we have to use control system which works on digital data, where we have implemented a digital control through the PLC. The main work of PLC is to coordinate the functions required for controlling traffic light signals. We use the specified method for calculating the traffic density and send the signal automatically to PLC circuit and depending upon the priority, the controlling action for the traffic Signals are made. We use new timing scheme, and in accordance with it the signaling is implemented. This is implemented with more efficiently during the peak hours so as to use the data of sensor and to suitably control the traffic flow. The main work of the system is to check the status of sensors & sends the appropriate signal. The working of the system depends on the signal coming from sensor and the real time data provided with the priority as predecided. In such a way the overall PLC system works.
