        abstract = {In today’s world, due to rapid development of cities, congestion in traffic  is  a  serious  problem.  Especially  India,  the second most popular Country in the World and a fast growing economy, is known to have a gigantic  network  of roads. Roads are the dominant means of transportation in India today. However, most of the roads in India are narrow and congested with poor surface quality and road maintenance needs are not satisfactorily met. No matter where you are in India, driving is a breath-holding, multi-mirror involving, potentially life threatening affair. There can be different causes of congestion in traffic like insufficient capacity, unrestrained growth in cars, large Red Light delays etc. . . In this project we aim to reduce congestion by controlling the traffic junctions using what we call a smart or Intelligent traffic light system. The discussed priority based control system is designed to control the interval of traffic lights based on the density or number of  vehicles  present  in their respective lanes, it is also designed to detect and allow free transit of emergency vehicles or VIP vehicles throughout the traffic junction.},
