Abstract
This research is focused on laboratory based analysis on hardware module of traffic light with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) software. There are four ways in hardware model for detection of vehicle; each way has one sensor button, three Light Emitted Diodes (LEDs) with individual colors say red, yellow and green represents the traffic light in each lane. Sensor and LEDs are connected to Mitsubishi Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and each part on hardware being controlled by PLC. Ladder diagrams are programmed by software to monitor the system and helps to improve public transportation services, thereby improving traffic guidance and traffic light control. The system was developed by setting the appropriate time for the traffic lights to respond accordingly. The controller checks the priority and provides an exit signal to the traffic light post to turn the red, yellow or green lights on or off. Finally, the signal lights were successfully controlled by the PLC. Hence the system used in traffic control systems contain low power consumption, low engineering cost and increased safety.
