Abstract

 These days, time wasting and environmental pollution are only two of the numerous issues brought 
on by traffic congestion. The purpose of this work is to create a traffic control system at the educational level 
utilizing a Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller. The system will attempt to lessen the likelihood of traffic light-
related congestion. The technology will also take pedestrian road crossing requirements into account. This system 
will be built using a sequence-based approach, in which several receipts chosen by the software under various 
traffic conditions regulate the timing and sequence of traffic lights. The traffic waiting time can be reduced and 
road user safety at the four-lane intersection can be guaranteed by putting the proposed traffic management 
system into practice. To keep an eye on each lane's condition, switches that mimic the detector sensors will be 
placed at a distance from the traffic displays. The sensor will be activated and notify the microcontroller to alter 
the time of the green light in the appropriate lane when it is obstructed by a car or a passenger at the designated 
spot.
