The invention discloses an intelligent traffic
light control system based on a PLC and a sensor. The intelligent traffic
light control system comprises detectors, a PLC, an east road, a west road, a south road, a north road and a traffic control center; detectors are arranged on the roads toward the east, the west, the north and the south from the crossroad; the
detector comprises a
sensor node, a common WSN node and a Sink node; the
sensor node transmits data and information through a common WSN node; the Sink node transmits the information converging on the WSN node to the PLC for
processing; the PLC is connected to the traffic control center through an external network; the Sink node, the common WSN node and the sensor constitute a ZigBee
local area network. In the invention, the WSN is adopted as an emerging application technology, and the intelligent traffic
light control system is small in volume, low in cost, small in
power consumption and flexible in network combination, and the wide application of the invention can change people's life. The intelligent traffic light
control system combines the MSN and the PLC, and can determine whether the road in the direction is busy according to the quantity of the stranded vehicles waiting for the traffic light. The intelligent traffic light
control system is simple and economic, can effectively ease the traffic jam, improves the passage capability of the
traffic intersection and has a good application prospect.
