Case Study: Implementing Traffic Light Logic with Digital

Circuits

Scenario: You're a traffic engineer tasked with upgrading an intersection to a smart


system using digital logic circuits. The system should manage the traffic lights
according to a specific timing sequence:

1. Green light for east-west traffic for 30 seconds.


2. Yellow light for east-west traffic for 5 seconds.
3. Red light for east-west traffic for 20 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for north-south traffic.
Components:
• Clock pulse generator (active) - Provides regular timing pulses.

• Counters (active) - Count clock pulses to track time durations.


• Decoders (active) - Convert count values to control signals for LEDs.
• AND gates (passive) - Combine control signals for specific light combinations.
• OR gates (passive) - Combine control signals for all-red phases.
Challenge: Design the digital circuit using the aforementioned components to achieve
the desired traffic light sequence.

Solution:
• Clock pulse generator: Provides a continuous pulse stream, each pulse
representing a specific time unit.
• Counters:
o One counter tracks time for east-west traffic lights (30 + 5 + 20
seconds).
o Another counter tracks time for north-south traffic lights (same
sequence).
• Decoders:
o Convert count values for each counter into control signals for the
corresponding LED combinations (green, yellow, red).
• AND gates:
o Combine the decoded green and yellow signals with the "not red"
signal for each direction to activate the desired LEDs.
• OR gate:
o Combines the red signals from both directions to create an all-red
phase when neither direction has green or yellow.

Success: By combining the functionalities of all components, you achieve a traffic light
system that automatically cycles through the desired sequence with precise timing.

Learning: This case study demonstrates how digital logic circuits can be used to
control real-world systems like traffic lights based on specific rules and timing
requirements.
