Project Introduction:

Traffic signals are used to control the vehicle traffic passing through the intersection of two or
more roadways by giving a visual indication to drivers when to proceed, when to slow, and when
to stop. These signals are operated by a simple timer which allows traffic to flow on one roadway
for a fixed period, and then on the other roadway for another fixed period of time before repeating
the cycle. The traffic signals have three lights RED (To STOP), Yellow (Ready to GO) and
GREEN (To GO) and each light glows for specific time.

A city district government decided to install the traffic signals on one of the intersection region of
two roads and provided the following specifications:

Project Objectives:

Design a digital circuit that meets the above requirements. You have to use flip-flop for generating
clock signal that will switch the traffic signals as required.

You have to design a circuit using combinational and sequential circuit which will allow cars
coming from south to move towards west for a specified time and after that allow cars coming
from east to move towards west for the other specified time.

• The Red light will ON for 5 seconds, Orange for 1 seconds and Green for 8 seconds.
• When Red light turns ON, the other lights will remain OFF.
• When Yellow light turns ON, the RED light remains ON.
• When Green light turns ON, both RED light and Yellow light will OFF.
• When Green light turns OFF, the RED light turns ON again and this pattern repeats.
• There will be two traffic signals (RED, YELLOW, GREEN), one for major road and other for
road A. When traffic signal of major road turns ON, the road A traffic signal will remain OFF.
Similarly, when road A signal is ON, the major road signal will be OFF.
