Basic Traffic Intersection Simulation

Python version License: MIT

A simulation developed from scratch using Pygame to simulate the movement of vehicles across a traffic intersection having traffic lights with a timer.

Description

  • It contains a 4-way traffic intersection with traffic signals controlling the flow of traffic in each direction.
  • Each signal has a timer on top of it which shows the time remaining for the signal to switch from green to yellow, yellow to red, or red to green.
  • Vehicles such as cars, bikes, buses, and trucks are generated, and their movement is controlled according to the signals and the vehicles around them.
  • This simulation can be further used for data analysis or to visualize AI or ML applications.
