Abstract
This paper is aimed at designing an efficient traffic light model for the commercial city of Aba in Abia State, Nigeria, using LED (Light Emitting Diode). LED consumes 80 – 90 percent less energy than the normal incandescent lamps, and lasts 5 – 8 years or longer. The traffic control system involves the use of decade counter and timer for the design and circuit simulation. This analysis can efficiently be implemented at intersections in the city of Aba. It also involves the use of an alternative power supply system in the case of public power failure, for an effective constant control system.
