Microprocessor Based Traffic Light Control Project

Designing a microprocessor system to control traffic lights is discussed in this post. The traffic light arrangement is as shown in the figure. The trffic should be controlled in the following manner.

Allow traffic from W to E and E to W transition for 20 seconds.
Give transition period of 5 seconds (yellow bulbs ON)
Allow traffic from N to S and S to N for 20 seconds.
Give Transition period of 5 seconds (yellow bulbs ON)
Repeat the process.

Hardware needed for Traffic Light control.

The above figure shows the interfacing diagram to control 12 electric bulbs. Port A is used to ontrol lights on N-S road and port B is used to control lights on W-E road. Actual pin connections are listed in table below.

Pins	Light	Pin	Light
PA0	R1	PB0	R3
PA1	Y1	PB1	Y3
PA2	G1	PB2	G3
PA3	R2	PB3	R4
PA4	Y2	PB4	Y4
PA5	G2	PB5	G4

The electric bulbs are controlled by relays. The 8255 pins are used to control relay on-off action with the help of relay diver circuits. The driver circuit includes 12 transitors to drive 12 relays. The image below shows the interfacing of 8255 to the system.

I designed a table to show you the data bytes to be sent for specific combinations
