FPGA based traffic light controller

The main purpose of the traffic light control system is to control the congestion of vehicles at the junctions and also for safer pedestrian crossing. There have been many technologies used for implementing a traffic light controller all over the world. India being one of the densely populated countries, upgrading to a new control system and imposing it all over is a tedious process. This paper proposes the reconfigurable Traffic Light controller which can display the time of waiting in all the directions. It has been observed that the designed traffic light controller is working up to a maximum operating frequency of about 300 MHz. The coding has been done using the Verilog Hardware Descriptive Language.
