ABSTRACT
One of the main problems in large cities is traffic congestion;
intersections are the most common configuration where roads that
cross each other. Present traffic signals fail to control the traffic
effectively when a particular lane has got more traffic than the other
lanes. In literature there are different modern techniques which can
base on intelligent techniques such as Programmable Logic
Controllers (PLC), Fuzzy Logic System (FLS), neural network..etc.
In this thesis an intelligent traffic control system using Programmable
Logic Controller (PLC) technology and supervisor control data
acquisition (SCADA) is proposed . It is also difficult for a traffic police
to monitor the whole scenario round the clock. So, this system can be
implemented on highways and city traffic.
Traffic congestion
INTRODUCTION
In the conventional traffic control system it may be observed that
the time of Green light glowing for a particular road will be always constant.
Sometimes it may happen that, one particular road may be crowded more
than any other. In such cases the conventional traffic control system will fail
to give priority to the heavy traffic roads.

System
The I/O interfaces provide the connection between the PLC and the
SCADA refers to the centralized systems that control and monitor the entire
sites, or it refers to complex systems spread out over large scale areas. In
both cases nearly all controls actions are automatic performed by RTUs or
by the programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Data acquisition starts at the
PLC or RTU level, which includes the lanes status reports, and meter
readings. Data is then formatted in such way that the operator of the control
room can make the supervisory decisions to adjust normal PLC (RTU)
controls, by using HMI.
Remote Terminal Unit (RTU):
This is a communication device within the SCADA system and is
located at the remote substation.
The RTU gathers data of local traffic.
