Intersections are prone to accidents, making traffic light installation essential for improving safety and regulating vehicle flow. However, building such systems without proper planning and simulation is unwise. Careful design, especially in setting the timer, is crucial to manage traffic efficiently and reduce accident risks.
Simulations help predict potential issues and allow for adjustments before construction begins. This not only improves safety but also prevents equipment damage caused by design or assembly errors. To address these concerns, we decided to design and simulate a traffic light system for a four-way intersection. This simulation allows us to test timing configurations and overall functionality before real-world implementation, ensuring a safer and more effective solution.
HOW TO USE
You can copy the code below and paste it into the Keil µVision5 software. After that, open Proteus 8 Professional and start building the circuit according to the layout shown in the circuit diagram.
Feel free to get creative by adding decorative components to enhance the appearance of the traffic light simulation. You can also adjust the speed at which each light turns on or off by modifying the timing in the code, allowing you to customize the traffic light behavior as desired.
Once the circuit is complete, connect the code from Keil to the STM32F401CB microcontroller in Proteus. Then, run the simulation to see if it operates as expected.
