Introduction

  Traffic congestion is a severe problem in many modern cities around the world.
  Traffic congestion has been causing many critical problems and challenges in the major
and most populated cities. To travel to different places within the city is becoming more
difficult for the travelers in traffic. Due to these congestion problems, people lose time,
miss opportunities, and get frustrated. Traffic congestion directly impacts the
companies. Due to traffic congestions there is a loss in productivity from workers, trade
opportunities are lost, delivery gets delayed, and thereby the costs goes on increasing.
  To solve these congestion problems, we have to build new facilities & infrastructure but
at the same time make it smart. The only disadvantage of making new roads on facilities
is that it makes the surroundings more congested. So for that reason we need to change
the system rather than making new infrastructure twice.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
 

1- MICROCONTROLLER UNIT
 Micro-controller unit is constructed with ATMEL 89C51 Micro-controller chip. The
ATMEL AT89C51 is a low power, higher performance CMOS 8-bit microcomputer with
4K bytes of flash programmable and erasable read only memory (PEROM). Its high-
density non-volatile memory compatible with standard MCS-51 instruction set makes it a
powerful controller that provides highly flexible and cost effective solution to control
applications.

 2- Light Emitting Diode (LED):

 A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. The color of the light is
determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor.
 The emission of these photons occurs when the diode junction is forward biased by an
external voltage allowing current to flow across its junction, and in Electronics we call
this process electroluminescence.
 The actual colour of the visible light emitted by an LED, ranging from blue to red to
orange, is decided by the spectral wavelength of the emitted light which itself is
dependent upon the mixture of the various impurities added to the semiconductor
materials used to produce it.

 3-  Traffic Light:
 Traffic lights or traffic signals are signaling devices positioned at road intersections,
pedestrian crossing or crosswalk and other locations to control flows of traffic
