Description

Components of Traffic Light:

1.Weighbridge: A system that weighs vehicles when they pass over it.

2.Traffic Light: A set of lights that control the flow of traffic (typically red, yellow, and green).

3.Control System: A software or hardware-based system that integrates the traffic light and weighbridge.

4.Weight Thresholds: Define a maximum weight limit for vehicles that can safely proceed. Anything above this limit would trigger specific actions.

Conceptual Workflow:

1.Vehicle Detection: As a vehicle approaches the weighbridge, the system detects it.

2.Weighing: The vehicle passes over the weighbridge, and the system measures its weight.

3.Threshold Comparison:

• If the vehicle is under the weight threshold, the system activates the green light allowing the vehicle to proceed.
• If the vehicle exceeds the weight threshold, the system activates the red light, stopping the vehicle for inspection or rerouting.

4.Timing Control: If there’s a queue of vehicles, the system may use timing logic to switch traffic lights based on the vehicle’s weight or load status.

5.Alerts/Notifications: In case of overweight vehicles, the system could also trigger an alarm or send a notification to the relevant authorities.
