Arduino simulator is used to simulate 4 way traffic signal project is simulated here. This involves a junction where the vehicles can come in 4 different directions. You only need basic components (LEDs) and an Arduino Mega to get started (or nothing, of you are using Wokwi Arduino simulator). You can use this campuses for projects as well as roads where there is congestion. The logic is very simple. I appreciate if you can add more features to this project. I will be happy to publish your code examples too.
Arduino simulator - 4 way traffic project
int signal1[] = {23, 25, 27};
int signal2[] = {46, 48, 50};
int signal3[] = {13, 12, 11};
int signal4[] = {10, 9, 8};
int redDelay = 5000;
int yellowDelay = 2000;
void setup() {
// Declaring all the LED's as output
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
pinMode(signal1[i], OUTPUT);
pinMode(signal2[i], OUTPUT);
pinMode(signal3[i], OUTPUT);
pinMode(signal4[i], OUTPUT);
}
}
void loop() {
// Making Green LED at signal 1 and red LED's at other signal HIGH
digitalWrite(signal1[2], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal1[0], LOW);
digitalWrite(signal2[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal3[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal4[0], HIGH);
delay(redDelay);
// Making Green LED at signal 1 LOW and making yellow LED at signal 1 HIGH for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(signal1[1], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal1[2], LOW);
delay(yellowDelay);
digitalWrite(signal1[1], LOW);
// Making Green LED at signal 2 and red LED's at other signal HIGH
digitalWrite(signal1[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal2[2], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal2[0], LOW);
digitalWrite(signal3[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal4[0], HIGH);
delay(redDelay);
// Making Green LED at signal 2 LOW and making yellow LED at signal 2 HIGH for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(signal2[1], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal2[2], LOW);
delay(yellowDelay);
digitalWrite(signal2[1], LOW);
// Making Green LED at signal 3 and red LED's at other signal HIGH
digitalWrite(signal1[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal2[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal3[2], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal3[0], LOW);
digitalWrite(signal4[0], HIGH);

// Making Green LED at signal 3 LOW and making yellow LED at signal 3 HIGH for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(signal3[1], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal3[2], LOW);
delay(yellowDelay);
digitalWrite(signal3[1], LOW);
// Making Green LED at signal 4 and red LED's at other signal HIGH
digitalWrite(signal1[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal2[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal3[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal4[2], HIGH);

digitalWrite(signal4[1], LOW);
}There are 4 arrays defined. Four arrays for four traffic poles. The first element in each array corresponds to Red LEDs, Green LEDs, and Yellow LEDs corresponds to the third element in the array.
int signal1[] = {23, 25, 27};
int signal2[] = {46, 48, 50};
int signal3[] = {13, 12, 11};
int signal4[] = {10, 9, 8};Now, we will initialize all the pins connected to LEDs as output pins. we do it in a for loop as follows
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
pinMode(signal1[i], OUTPUT);
pinMode(signal2[i], OUTPUT);
pinMode(signal3[i], OUTPUT);
pinMode(signal4[i], OUTPUT);
}One sequence logic is given below. All the other Red LEDs other than pole 1 will be it. The green LED will be lit for pole 1. The yellowDelay and redDelay are constants which can be edited to vary the duration of time for which yellow LED will be on.
/ Making Green LED at signal 1 LOW and making yellow LED at signal 1 HIGH for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(signal1[1], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal1[2], LOW);
delay(yellowDelay);
digitalWrite(signal1[1], LOW);
// Making Green LED at signal 2 and red LED's at other signal HIGH
digitalWrite(signal1[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal2[2], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal2[0], LOW);
digitalWrite(signal3[0], HIGH);
digitalWrite(signal4[0], HIGH);
delay(redDelay);
