Implementation of an Intelligent Traffic Control System: The use of FPGA and Verilog HDL

Afra Nawar Kabir and K. M. A. Salam

The Intelligent Traffic Control system proposed in this paper goes for diminishing holding up times of the vehicles at traffic signals and providing easy and fast pathways for emergency vehicles such as ambulance. The proposed system is developed on FPGA DE1-SoC Board using Verilog HDL and implementing IR and RFID sensors. From the results of the simulation we have found that the system responses almost instantly to traffic density and switches the traffic lights according to the sensor readings. Moreover, when emergency vehicles are introduced in the simulation, the system adapts appropriately and clears the path for the emergency vehicle ensuring least waiting time.
