What is an automatic traffic light system?

• An automatic traffic light system is a traffic control mechanism that adjusts signal timings automatically based on traffic conditions.

• A manual traffic light system controlled by a traffic officer.

• A system that uses random signal changes to control traffic.

• A system that only operates during peak hours.

Name one type of sensor used for traffic control.

• Inductive loop sensor

• Ultrasonic sensor

• Pressure sensor

• Infrared sensor

What is the role of a microcontroller in traffic lights?

• The microcontroller monitors pedestrian activity.

• The microcontroller controls the timing and sequencing of traffic light signals.

• The microcontroller adjusts the brightness of the traffic lights.

• The microcontroller powers the traffic lights.

Explain the purpose of traffic light timing algorithms.

• The purpose of traffic light timing algorithms is to optimize traffic flow and enhance safety at intersections.

• To control pedestrian movement at crosswalks.

• To determine the color of traffic lights based on weather conditions.

• To synchronize traffic lights with public transportation schedules.

How do sensors detect the presence of vehicles?

• Sensors detect vehicles using technologies like inductive loops, infrared, ultrasonic, and radar.

• Sensors detect vehicles using GPS signals.

• Sensors identify vehicles through visual recognition only.

• Sensors rely solely on sound detection to find vehicles.

What programming language is commonly used for microcontroller programming?

• Python

• Ruby

• C

• Java

What factors influence the timing of traffic lights?

• Traffic volume, pedestrian activity, time of day, road type, and signal coordination.

• Weather conditions

• Car color

• Driver mood

Describe a safety feature that can be included in traffic systems.

• Smart traffic signals with real-time adaptive control and pedestrian detection.

• Traffic cones placed randomly on the road

• Static traffic lights with no sensors

• Speed bumps without warning signs

What is the importance of a power supply in traffic lights?

• Traffic lights do not require a power supply.

• The power supply is only for pedestrian signals.

• The power supply ensures traffic lights operate correctly and safely.

• They are powered by solar energy only.

How can solar power be utilized for traffic lights?

• Solar panels can be used to power traffic lights, providing energy directly or charging batteries for nighttime use.

• Traffic lights require a constant power supply that solar cannot provide.

• Solar power is too weak to operate traffic lights effectively.

• Traffic lights can only be powered by fossil fuels.
