Traffic congestion problem is a phenomenon which makes a huge impact to the transport system. Thisproblem is quite common amongst the cities all around the globe. Our basic idea behind this project is to develop adensity based adaptive traffic signal system. The signal duration automatically changes in accordance with the numberof vehicles on that particular road unlike the conventional traffic light system. So there is a need for longer green signalduration as compared to signal which have been used as of now, when more traffic density is at one side of the junctionas that of the opposite side of the intersection. This can be achieved by using IR sensors to sense the density of traffic oneach road and then sending these signals to the microcontroller to dynamically assign the signal timings. A traffic lightcontroller is designed to address the normal as well as emergency situations. This system was designed to operate whenit received signal from emergency vehicles based on radio frequency (RF) transmission and used the microcontroller tochange the sequence back to the normal sequence before the emergency mode was triggered. This system will not onlyreduce traffic jams but it will also reduce accidents which often happen at the traffic light intersections because othervehicles had to huddle in a hurry for making way for emergency vehicle.
