Traffic light control sequence flowchart

 

A typical traffic light control sequence for a 4 road junction has been described below (for a road system where the vehicles keep to their left  while driving  i.e. Australia, UK, South Africa etc).

The light changes as per the sequence listed below:

A.      Before switch ON, all 4 roads should  get ‘flashing yellow’ so as to enable them to look around and cross the road junction.

B.      When switched ON, Main roads 1 & 3 should get green signals G1/G3 to go straight. This signal remains on for 30 seconds.

C.      The above signals should be changed over to go right GR1/GR3  for 15 seconds only if any sensor  S1/S3 of vehicles waiting to turn  right is detected in the right turn lane . This will take place after a brief yellow signals Y1/Y3 in between.

D.     In case no vehicle is waiting for right turn, the roads 1 & 3 should be  closed with red signals R1/R3 and interim yellow signals Y1/Y3 for 2 seconds.

E.      The above procedure steps B-D should be repeated for side roads 2 & 4.

F.       The signalling continues from steps B-E till switched off.

G.     The timings for straight or right turns should all be programmable. For all changes from Green to Red, interim Yellow signals should be used.

Draw a simple flow chart that describes the process requirement for the Traffic light change over as listed in the problem statement.
