Traffic lights were first invented in the year 1868 at London’s House of Commons where traffic light signals were placed at intersections of George and Bridge Street. Later the traffic lights were developed in the year 1914 by an American Traffic Signal Company, which fixed green and red lights at corners of the 105th street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. During this period traffic lights were controlled either by timing or by switching manually.
Traffic lights are also named as stoplights, road traffic lamps, traffic signals, stop-and-go lights which are signaling devices placed at road crossings, everyday pedestrian crossings and other locations to control competing flows of traffic. Traffic lights have been fixed allover the world in many cities. Traffic light control assigns a right way to the road users by using lights in normal colors (red – amber/yellow – green).Traffic light control system uses a worldwide color code (a specific color order to enable color recognition for those who are color blind).
In China, there were unsuccessful efforts to change the importance of “red” to “go” during the Cultural Revolution. Typically traffic lights consist of three types of colored lights such as red, orange and green. In a typical cycle, turning on of a green light allows traffic to continue in the way indicated. Similarly,lighting of the amber/orange light for a short time of transition represents a signal to prepare to stop, and the Illumination of the red signal disallows any traffic from going on.
So far we have given the introduction about traffic signals, and therefore a control system is necessary to control these lights in a specific manner. This traffic light control system can be achieved by using a microcontroller to make simple and low-cost system.
