 Design and Project Overview
• For your design and project, you are required to develop a Traffic Light
Control System Using Logic Gates
• First stage of the project you are to develop the system using only logic
gates
• Your project should have the following parameters
1. Three output signals, for each lane, Red, Amber, Green to control the flow of
vehicles
2. Two signals named, for each lane, Red, Green to control the flow of pedestrians.
3. The vehicle Red and pedestrian Green are always asserted at the same time.
4. Similarly, vehicle Green and pedestrian Red are on at the same time
5. The following sequence is to be followed
i. First stage, vehicle Red and man Green are on
ii. Second sage, vehicle Green and man Red are on
iii. Then Amber

• Extra marks would be given for
1. Introducing a delay feature of 5 seconds for each traffic light
indicator in the following steps:
i. 5 seconds for vehicle Red and man Green
ii. 5 seconds for vehicle Green and man Red
iii. 5 seconds for Amber
• This would involve the use of other components other than your
common logic gates

2. Illustrating clearly the use of Finite State System in your design

work

 Basic Equipment and Components Needed

• Bread board
• Logic gates
• 3 Red LEDs
• 3 Green LEDs
• 2 Amber LEDs
• +5 volts Power supply

• Other components will be upon your discretion as you expand the

project

 Basic Software Needed

• All your circuits need to be clearly demonstrated on a suitable circuit

design software such as circuit maker.
• Free download can be found https://workspace.circuitmaker.com/

 Mark Allocation and Grading
• Marks will be allocated in the following manner
• 65% will be on demonstrating a working project 23 November
2018 at 1200middday
• 40% for getting basic stage working
• 25% for completing additional stages
• 25% for final report due 30 November 2018 at 1200midday. NB
Nothing will be collected after deadline.
• 10% will be awarded to the logbook which also is to be submitted
with your final report.
• NB Marks will be given for presentation of work and content
• You will be required to present your logbook for signing every week

• Please be reminded/warned that the department takes acts of
plagiarism extremely seriously. In today’s Internet age, you will more
than likely be able to find a solution to this project online. The
Module Leader will be coming around in the laboratory sessions to
ask questions to check that you fully understand every single line of
step taken in the design and development of your system. If you are
suspected of plagiarism, the department standard disciplinary
procedures will be followed and if found guilty, the department will
push for maximum penalty i.e. exclusion from University. Please do
not be under any illusions that this is an idle threat - You have been
warned.
