 ABSTRACT

A traffic control system using priority scheduling and binary search tree simulates
intersection traffic as concepts of operating systems and data structures merge to
improve city's flow.

This is a Binary Search Tree BST, which is a data structure that holds and manages data
related to flow traffic, that is lanes or an intersection. Every node in the BST has an
implication, it is, in fact an intersection or lanes, with priorities being given about traffic
volume, waiting times for traffic and emergency vehicles involved. Systemwide critical
lane allocation ensures cycle allocation in an efficient manner, reducing waiting times
on local links.

Real time updating makes way to efficient management of traffic information that
always adjusts to conditions and then also optimizes resources.

The real-time management of traffic signals will be done depending on the density of
the lanes and emergency needs. This will bring about reduction in waiting times by
vehicles, congestion management, prioritization of emergencies, and flow enhancement.

The system can adapt easily due to real-time capability. Updating traffic data enables
the response to such changes as accidents and roadwork quickly. This is a computer
science project involving the handling of traffic management. It enhances knowledge of
real-time systems management, memory allocation, and design. The project highlights
how efficient data structures and algorithms prove vital for real-life applications. This
case study is thus of utmost importance to computer science as well as operating system
enthusiasts looking into enhancing public infrastructure and transportation

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION

Metropolitan area traffic congestion is becoming increasingly important and often

exacerbated by fixed-time traffic signal settings that fail to take into account changing
conditions. Adaptive traffic control systems are emerging, with adaptive traffic control
that updates signal settings based on real-time information. A central approach is the use
of Priority Scheduling along with BST to improve the effectiveness of traffic flow.

Priority Scheduling allocates green light durations based on factors like traffic volume
or emergency vehicle needs, ensuring high-priority lanes are cleared efficiently. A
Binary Search Tree (BST) is used to organize traffic data, allowing fast access and
updates as traffic conditions change.

By integrating all these methodologies, the system can make real-time changes to traffic
signals, improving the overall flow of traffic, reducing congestion, and providing
priority to emergency vehicles. This strategy increases efficiency, adaptability, and
scalability for urban traffic management and makes it an important resource for modern
urban settings.

2.3 ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

Advantages:
1. Logarithmic Time Complexity: BST operations, such as insertion, deletion, and
search, have a time complexity of O(log n), making data retrieval and updates
efficient even as the number of lanes and intersections increases.
2. Dynamic Decision-Making: The system adjusts traffic light timings in real-time
based on updated traffic data, ensuring the most efficient flow of vehicles at all
times.

enabling the system to handle more lanes, intersections, and sensors without
significant performance degradation.
4. Enhanced Emergency Response: By prioritizing emergency vehicles, the
system improves response times and ensures that critical lanes are cleared
promptly, contributing to public safety.
Disadvantages:
1. High-Performance Hardware Requirements: Real-time processing of traffic
data and adjustments to traffic signals require robust hardware, which could be
costly and complex to implement, especially in large-scale systems.
2. Unbalance BST Issues: Without self-balancing mechanisms, a Binary Search
Tree can become unbalanced, leading to degraded performance with O(n) time
complexity in the worst case.
3. Complexity in Real-World Deployment: Integrating sensors, traffic lights, and
real-time data processing into a unified system can be technically challenging and
require continuous maintenance.
4. Dependence on Sens or Accuracy: The system's effectiveness relies heavily on
the accuracy and reliability of the sensors used to collect traffic data. Faulty
sensors could lead to incorrect traffic light adjustments.

CHAPTER 3: IMPLEMENTATION
This chapter describes the implementation process of the traffic light control
system, focusing on the construction of the Binary Search Tree (BST), the
priority scheduling algorithm used, and the digital design for signal control.

3.1 Binary Search Tree Construction

In this system, the Binary Search Tree (BST) plays a crucial role in organizing lanes
based on their priority, enabling efficient operations such as insertion, deletion,
and retrieval. Each lane is represented by a node in the tree, where the key value
corresponds to the lane's priority level. The BST structure ensures that higher-
priority lanes are placed closer to the root of the tree, allowing the scheduler to
access them quickly. By maintaining a balanced BST, the system ensures that
the time complexity for insertion, deletion, and retrieval operations remains
optimal, typically O(log n), where n is the number of lanes.

DEPARTMENT OF CSE, SVCE 2024-2025 8

Basic Traffic Control System with Priority Scheduling and Binary Search Tree

3.2 Priority Scheduling Algorithm

The management of green light timing allocation is based on the BST in the priority
scheduling algorithm. In its working, the scheduler uses a tree to traverse to the lane
with the highest priority, which, in this case, could be the root or leftmost node if the
structure of the tree is that of a min-heap. Upon identification of the lane with the highest
priority, the algorithm assigns the appropriate green light timing, based on the number
of waiting vehicles, the levels of traffic congestion, and the real-time data inputs.
The algorithm adjusts according to traffic conditions, so the system will be in a position
to ensure the smooth flow of traffic. For instance, if one lane was favored for an extended
period and is still congested, the algorithm can possibly extend the period of the green
light. Conversely, if a lane clears out pretty fast, the scheduler can reduce its green light
period and give more time to other lanes.
By integrating the BST in such a fashion, the scheduler ensures the flexible responding
nature of the traffic light system to optimize the traffic and curb congestions.

3.3 Digital Design and Signal Control

A microcontroller controls the traffic light system. It uses digital signals to achieve
precise control. The green, yellow, and red-light times are set with timers and counters
according to the priority schedule established by the algorithm. It acts according to real-
time data regarding traffic and changes the light signals accordingly. Digital setup
ensures quick response to the changes in the conditions of traffic, thereby improving the
flow and reducing congestion.
