| Summary |
The project addressed was the creation of an intersection that adapts to traffic flow and provides a progress indicator for the traffic lights. The adaptive intersection was designed to be more efficient than a fixed time intersection by giving priority to the road with the most traffic. The progress indicator helps motorists to anticipate the light changes. To implement adaptive timing, the number of cars going through the intersection is counted by the controller and the light timings are adjusted according to the number of cars travelling in each direction. A small scale model was used to demonstrate proper operation of the intersection. Red, green, and yellow LEDs were used to represent red, green, and yellow traffic lamps. Seven-segment LEDs were used to display the countdown of seconds until the next light change. The scaled model simulated an overhead view of the intersection and allowed for easy interpretation of results.
