Traffic signal light

Abstract
Our project is two way traffic signal light. Its circuit consists of
555timer, 4017 decoder IC, 1N4148switching diode.555 timer is used to
give clock pulse to decoder IC 4017. It produces continues pulse
because here we are using it in Astable mode. IC 4017 is a decoder IC
that consist of counter and the decoder. The out puts of decoder are
then connected to the LED through diodes which act as traffic signal
light.

Working
It is a simple project of two ways traffic signal, Circuit is given
below. In the circuit, we have used two ICs (555 Timer and 4017
Decoder) and a number of diodes (1n4148).
555 TIMER IC
In the following circuit the 555 Timer IC is used in astable mode, in order to
give clock pulse to the 4017 Decoder IC. In astable mode the Timer IC
produces a continuous pulse.

4017 DECODER IC
Internally it consists of a five stage Johnson Decade Counter The clock pulse of
the Timer is given to the counter and the output of the Decade Counter is then
given to the LEDs through diodes.

DIODES
The diodes are connected with the LEDs and 4017 IC , Hence the LED glows.
The diodes also prevent the reverse flow of current.

When we give clock pulse to the decoder IC then the pins of the Decoder starts
working in the following sequential order; 3, 2, 4 and 7 starts working which
are connected with red and green LED and makes it glow. Then the pin 10
starts working which is connected to the yellow LED. After this the pins 1,5,6
and 9 starts working after certain intervals and hence makes the LEDs(red
and green) glow. At last the pin 11 starts working, which is connected to the
yellow LEDs and makes them glow?

This cycle repeats in the same sequence.
