The traffic lights also referred to as traffic signals are used to provide assistance in controlling city traffics and streamlining the present traffic situations. The traffic lights are used since 1868. They are employed by traffic sergeant to avoid congestion and to concern about the right flow of traffic in cities. As years passed, these lights are evolved with automatic controls, pedestrian supporters and so on. There are several standards followed in implementation and design. The intelligent traffic light controller is designed to develop a traffic signal based on avoidance of traffic congestion and also innovative control to clear the traffic for emergency vehicle. The ambulance would have a transmitter within it, which would transmit a signal to the receiver side, this will enable green signal in the corresponding pole. The light of the signal is controlled by automatic timers which are built in by discrete components. Arduino boards are used to control the automatic timers. This module helps to save the lives of many people as well as to avoid congestion.
