VEHICLE DENSITY CONTROLLED AUTOMATIC TRAFFIC LIGHT from KMP Engineering collegeHIGHVOLTEEE
ABSTRACT
The project is designed to develop a density based dynamic traffic signal
system. The signal timing changes automatically on sensing the traffic density
at the junction. Traffic congestion is a severe problem in many major cities
across the world and it has become a nightmare for the commuters in these
cities. Conventional traffic light system is based on fixed time concept allotted
to each side of the junction which cannot be varied as per varying traffic
density. Junction timings allotted are fixed. Sometimes higher traffic density at
one side of the junction demands longer green time as compared to standard
allotted time. The proposed system using a microcontroller of 8051 series duly
interfaced with sensors, changes the junction timing automatically to
accommodate movement of vehicles smoothly avoiding unnecessary waiting
time at the junction. The sensors used in this project are IR and photodiodes are
in line of sight configuration across the loads to detect the density at the traffic
signal. The density of the vehicles is measured in three zones i.e., low, medium,
high based on which timings are allotted accordingly. Further the project can
be enhanced by synchronizing all the traffic junctions in the city by establishing
a network among them. The network can be wired or wireless. This
synchronization will greatly help in reducing traffic congestion.
This Simple-cost effective-easy to maintain track circuit can be used to identify an incoming train so that it can automatically trigger an alarm system as well as the railway gate. This system is assured to be fail-safe.
Wireless electricity or WiTricity is the transfer of electric energy or power over a distance without the use of wires. In order for the energy to be transferred safely coupled resonators are used. Coupled resonators are two objects of the same resonant frequency that exchange energy efficiently without much leakage. Minimizing energy leakage is very important because the goal is to have as much energy as possible be transferred from one object to another.

1) The project aims to construct a one-port self-sustained soliton oscillator by combining a nonlinear transmission line with a positive feedback amplifier. This would be an extension of past two-port nonlinear transmission line works.
2) The oscillator consists of a nonlinear transmission line connected to a one-port amplifier on one end. Short pulses travel back and forth on the nonlinear transmission line, reflecting at both ends due to impedance mismatches.

3) Several amplifier designs are presented and their outputs analyzed using Mult
In this thesis two different circular shaped proximity feed antenna are undertaken, both in the
area of compact RF/microwave circuits design. The first design involves the design of a
Circular shaped radiating patch antenna with Semicircular ground plane and ring of circles. A
study of several circular shaped microstrip antennas reported in the past has been carried out.
In this research, a method of reducing the size of a printed slot-ring antenna for dual band
applications is proposed. The reduction in size is achieved by introducing proximity feed
technology with circular shaped feed line.
The minimum axial ratio of 0.3 dB is obtained at 1.27 GHz, which is the operating frequency
of the antenna. The size of the proposed antenna is reduced by about 50% compared to a
conventional Circular Polarization slot-ring antenna and it displays a Circular Polarization
bandwidth of about 2.5%. The simulated results are presented, and they are in good
agreement. The small size of the antenna makes it very suitable for use in modern
RF/microwave wireless systems which require compact, low cost, and high performance
circuits. Moreover, its Circular Polarization behavior makes it more applicable for
applications such as satellite communications.
The second geometry in the thesis involves the design of a compact circular microstrip
Antenna using semicircular ground plane attached on both sides of a square geometry. The
measured dual frequency band with center frequency is 3.0 GHz. The Antenna demonstrates
about 21% bandwidth with antenna gain of 1.8 dB in the radiation band, a return loss of less
than -10 dB is achieved in this work. The simulated results are in good agreement. The
proposed antenna is very reliable for use in modern wireless systems which require dual band
geometries having compact size, low insertion loss, high selectivity, and good antenna gain.

4. ABSTRACT
Nicola Tesla was keenly interested in lighting the world from his AC generation and
transports the power without wire worldwide. Wireless power transmission (WPT) is
useful technology in near future. There are two kinds of the WPT technologies: near
field technique and far field technique [1]. Near field-technique uses inductive
coupling, resonance inductive coupling and air ionization. Far-field techniques can be
achieved through microwave power transmission and LASER power transmission.
However, the efficiency is low as of now and researchers have progressed less in this
field to materialize the commercial technology. Thus, I have covered the possible ways
to harness the power without wires from many research carried out so far. The
advantages, disadvantages, biological impacts and its applications are presented.

10. 1. INTRODUCTION
There have been great discoveries in wireless transmission after the invention of Electromagnetic Waves
by Maxwell. Since then wireless have made the world small and fast.
Wireless power transmission is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an
electrical load without interconnecting wires. This Wireless Transmission is useful in cases where
interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, expensive or impossible. With wireless power,
the efficiency is the more significant parameter. A large part of the energy sent out by the
generating plant must be optimally received at the end.
In our present system where we use wires as the transmission media, it is not always efficient. There are
power losses mainly due to transmission and distribution. This mainly accounts for transmission losses
from power plant generator to the consumers. The resistance of the wires used in electrical grid distribution
accounts for almost 26-30% of the energy generated [1]. Thus our present system in electrical distribution
is only 70-74% efficient. Besides the heavy energy losses more resources, infrastructures, manpower, and
expenditure involved makes present technique of wired transmission not an all-time business but to find
other alternate state – of – technology to transmit and distribute electricity efficiently and economically.
We have already seen an immense growth in the field of wireless transmission which is capable of
transmitting energy from one source to the distance destinations. Therefore, wireless transmission
of electrical power should be possible. In fact this noble concept was far foreseen by the "Father
of Wireless" Nicola Tesla based on Tesla Theory, which would transmit the electrical energy
across a large distance and receive it at the destination with negligible losses [2]. There have been
series of researches and experiments performed to take this very technology into reality. There are
number of technologies that would be possibly used as a means to felicitate the electrical power
transmission without wires. This wireless power transmission can be broadly understood in two
fundamental categories: far field transmission and near field transmission [3].
Though the criticism was faced by the Father of this noble concept Tesla for its biological
impact, but there could have been safety mode for the same. Since the world is already
gridded with wires, lighting the globe would be a great challenge to lose all the present
royalties but it will be a great bless ever in the face of humanity.

11. 2. WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY: THE BASICS
Wireless power transmission involves the transferring of electrical energy or power over the
distance without wires. Thus the basic technology lies on the concept on electricity,
magnetism and electromagnetism.
2.1 Electricity
The flow of electrons (current) through a conductor (a wire), or charges though the
atmosphere (like lightening) [4]
2.2 Magnetism
It is a fundamental force of nature, which causes certain types of material to attract or repel
each other. Permanent magnets like in our refrigerator and the earth’s magnetic field
are example of objects having constant magnetic fields [4].
Figure 1 As a current I flow in the circuit it generates magnetic fields
Oscillating magnetic fields vary in respect to time, which can be used to generate alternating
current (AC). The strength, direction and extend of magnetic fields are visualized by drawing
of magnetic field lines as in the figure 1 [4].
2
12. 2.3 Electromagnetism
It is a term for the interdependence of time-varying electric and magnetic fields. The
oscillating magnetic field produces a magnetic and electric field.
2.4 Magnetic induction
If a conductive loop is connected to an AC power source, it will generate an oscillating
magnetic field in and around the loop. If a second conducting loop is brought near enough, it
will capture portion of that oscillating magnetic field, which in turn generates or induces an
electric current in the second coil. Thus the electrical power transfer from one loop or coil to
another is known as magnetic induction [4].
Examples of such phenomenon are used in electric transformer and electric generators. This
concept is covered by the laws of electromagnetic induction by Faraday. Where he states that
whenever there is change in magnetic flux linking with the coil an emf is induced in the coil.
And the magnitude of the same is equal to the product of number of turns of the coil and the
rate of change of flux [5].
e
N( 2 1)
volts [5] t
Where e= induced emf
N= number of turns
2 = final value of flux
1 = initial value of flux
t= time duration during which the change in flux takes place.

13. Figure 2. Electric Transformer
2.5 Energy/Power Coupling
This phenomenon occurs when one device is able to transfer energy to another deice.
Magnetic coupling occurs when one object’s magnetic field is able to induce an electric
current to the other devices on its vicinity.
Figure 3 Magnetic coupling
4
14. 2.6 Resonance
Resonance is the phenomenon in which magnetic systems that possesses both magnetic moments
and angular momentum [6]. It is the natural frequency at which energy can most efficiently be
added to an oscillating system. It exists in most of the physical systems. When the resonant
frequency is found it vibrates with higher energy.
2.7 Resonant Magnetic Coupling
As stated under section 2.4 magnetic coupling occurs when there is energy exchange between two
objects through their varying magnetic fields. But the resonant coupling occurs when the natural
frequencies of the two becomes approximately equal.

15. 3. CONTRIBUTIONS
3.1 Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla, who is seen by mostly American as the "Father of Wireless", is also credited for his
remarkable AC generation became the first person to conceive the idea of wireless power transmission
and successfully demonstrated the transmission of electricity without wires as early as 1891 [1]. In
1893 Tesla won to illuminate the World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where he demonstrated the
success of illuminating the vacuum tubes bulbs without using wires. Tesla constructed the
Wardebclyffe tower as shown below in figure 5, for wireless power transmission of electrical power
rather than telegraphy [1].Tesla conducted his experiments in Colorado Spring in 1899. He was also
able power the 200 (50W) incandescent lamps at 25 miles from the power hour source without using
the [7].
Figure 4 Tesla’s Wardebclyffe Tower for Wireless Power Transfer [1]
3.2 William C. Brown
William C. Brown is credited for modern research and father of microwave power
transmission [8]. In 1961 he published his first paper proposing microwave energy for power
transmission. In early 1960s Brown invented rectenna which directly convert microwave to
DC current and in 1964 he successfully demonstrated a microwave-powered model helicopter
that received all the power needed for the flight from a microwave beam at 2.45 GHz [8].
Figure 6 shows Brown’s schematic diagram for microwave power transmission.
6
16. In 1982, Brown along with James F. Trimer (NASA) modified the previous rectenna to thin
and light one which led to the development of Stationary High Altitude Relay Platform
(SHARP) field. The purpose of this was to develop aircraft that would maintain a circular
trajectory above a microwave antenna for relaying communication from various ground
terminals [8].
Figure 5. Schematic Diagram of element of beam Microwave Power Transmission [8]
3.3 Prof. Marin Soljacic
A physics research group led by Prof. Marin Soljacic at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) demonstrated wireless powering of 60W light bulb with 40% efficiency at
2m (7ft) distance using two 6ocm –diameter coils in 2007 [9]. They used resonant induction
to transmit power wirelessly. The group is also working to improve the technology.
This came as a chance when Prof. Soljacic’s phone beeped in the kitchen letting him know
that he forgot to charge. Soon after the success of the experiment the term for the technology
was given as WiTricity and to carry out this technology forward from the MIT laboratories,
WiTricity Corp. was launched [9].

17. 4. WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION: TYPE
4.1 Near Field Techniques
4.1.1 Inductive Coupling
Two devices are said to be mutually inductively coupled or magnetically coupled when they are
configured such that change in current though one wire induces a voltage across the ends of the other
wire by electromagnetic induction. This is due to the mutual inductance.
Figure 6 Inductive coupling
Transformer is an example of inductive coupling.
Inductive coupling is preferred because of its comfortable, less use of wires and shock proof.
4.1.2 Resonance Inductive Coupling (RIC)
RIC is the combination of both inductive coupling and resonance. Using the concept of
resonance it makes the two objects to interact each other very strongly.
8
18. Figure 7. Concept of Resonance Inductive Coupling
Inductance induces current in the circuit. As seen in the figure 7, the coil provides the
inductance. The capacitor is connected in parallel to the coil. Energy will be shifting back and
forth between magnetic field surrounding the coil and electric field around the capacitor. Here
the radiation loss will be negligible.
Figure 7 Block diagram representation of RIC
MIT’s research group led by Prof. Saljacic used this concept to light the bulb at 2m distance.
They used helical shaped coil instead of capacitor [9].
9
19. a) Comparison between RIC and Inductive Coupling [10]
RIC is high efficient
RIC has greater range than inductive coupling
RIC is directional when compared to inductive coupling
RIC can be one- to- many whereas inductive coupling is one-to-one
Device using RIC technique is highly portable.
4.1.3 Air ionization
The concept here is the ionization of air due to field produced. This technique in exist in
nature but there is hardly any feasibility of its implementation because it needs high field like
2.11 MV/m [10]. Several experiments are on the way. Richard E. Vollrath, a California
inventor has developed an ingenious sand-storm generator, which sends blasts of dust-laden
air through copper tubes, generating electricity which can be stored in sphere and used later
[11].
Example of this technique is seen in nature lightning.

4.2 Far-Field Energy Transfer Techniques
Far Field Energy Transfer technique is mainly dependent on radiative techniques. Here wave
are either broadcasted in the form of narrow beam transmission of radio, or light waves. This
is solely for high power transfer. Tesla already gave the concept to the world on his paper:
“Truly Wireless” long time by late 1980s. He constructed large Wardenclyffe Tower to
mainly transfer the energy for large distance [2].
11
21. Figure 9 The basics for system for the wireless transmission of electrical power [3]
There are basically two methods for WPT: the microwave power transmission and the power
transmission using LASER.
4.2.1 Microwave Power Transmission (MPT)
This technique involves the conversion of energy into microwave and then transfers the wave
through the rectenna (rectifier and antenna) from the transmitter and received at the receiver
which will be converted into the conventional electrical power [8].
The steps involved are:
Conversion of electrical energy to microwave energy
Receiving microwave energy using Rectenna
Conversion of microwave energy to electrical energy
William C. Brown, then the leading authority on wireless power transmission technology showed the
power transmission through free space by microwave. He said that the primary
12
22. components include microwave source, a transmitting antenna, and receiving antenna. The basics
blocks of elements in wireless power transmission is shown in figure 10 [1].
Figure 10 Functional Block Diagram of Wireless Power Transmission System
In the transmission side, the microwave power source generates microwave power and the
output power is controlled by the electronic control circuits. The wave guide ferrite circulator
which protects the microwave power source from reflected power is connected with the
microwave power source through the Coax-waveguide adaptor. The tuner matches the
impedance between the transmitting antenna and the microwave source. The attenuated
signals will be then separated based on the direction of signal propagation by directional
coupler. The transmitting antenna radiates the power uniformly through free space to the
antenna [1].
In the receiver, an antenna receives the transmitted power and converts the microwave in DC power.
The impedance matching circuit and filter is provided to set the output impedance of a signal source
equal to the rectifying circuit. The rectifying circuit consists of Schottky barrier diodes which convert
the received microwave power into DC power [1].
13
23. Figure 11 Microwave Power Transmission
For the wireless power transmission on the surface of the earth, a limited range of transmission
frequencies are availably suitable. Due to atmospheric attenuation and absorption frequencies above 6
GHz, it is not efficient. The frequencies below 2 GHz require excessively large apertures for
transmission and reception [10]. Therefore, the suitable ranges of frequencies are in the range of 2GHz
to 6 GHz. Efficient transmissions requires that the beams have Gaussion power density. Transmission
efficiency for Gaussian beams is related to the aperture sizes of the transmitting and receiving
antennas by [12]
14
24. Followings are the components required for generating frequencies of transmitting the power:
(a) Microwave Generator
Microwave transmitting devices are classified as Microwave Vacuum Tubes (magnetron,
klystron, travelling wave tube), and microwave power module (MPM) and Semiconductor
Microwave transmitters (GaAs MESFET, GaN, pHEM, SiC MESFET, AlGaN/GaN HFET,
and InGaAs). The microwave transmitter often uses 2.45 GHz or 5.8 GHz of ISM band. The
other frequencies are 8.5 GHz, 10GHz [1] and 35 GHz. The highest efficiency over 90% is
achieved at 2.45 GHz [1].
(b) Transmitting Antenna
The slotted wave guide antenna as shown in the above figure 14, micro-strip antenna and
parabolic dish antenna are the most used amongst the others. The slotted waveguide antenna
is considered to be ideal with the efficiency greater than 95% and high power handling
capacity [1].
(c) Rectenna
The name rectenna comes from William C. Brown (Raytheon) in the early 1960s [13]. It is
the term given to the combination of rectifying diode and antenna. The rectenna is passive
element and consists of antenna, rectifying circuit with a low pass filter between the antennas
and rectifying diode. The antenna used may be dipole, Yagi-Uda, micro-strip or parabolic dish
antenna. The patch dipole antenna is best with highest efficiency. The efficiencies of various
are summarised in table 3.
15
25. Table 3 Efficiency of different antennas [12]
Type of Rectenna Operating Frequency Measured Peak Conversion
(GHz) Efficiency (%)
Printed Dipole 2.45 85
Circular Patch 2.45 81
Printed dual rhombic 5.6 78
Square patch 8.51 66
4.2.2 LASER Technology
The LASER Technology is another efficient way of wireless power transmission. It uses the same
possibility as microwave wireless transmission but here energy emission is of high frequency and
is coherent. Research organisations like NASA, ENTECH, and UAH have been working on this
project as a means to transmit power wirelessly [9]. The other great advantage of LASER power
transmission is the aperture collection efficiency which is that antenna can be made small sized as
these are the colliminated beams.
LASER transmission does not get dispersed for long distance but it gets attenuated when it
propagates though atmosphere. During the design the receiver used can be simple like
photovoltaic cell. Due to the simplicity in its construction it is cost efficient than he
microwave power transmission.
Developing photovoltaic cells which are capable of efficiently converting the multiple sun
intensity coherent monochromatic light in to electricity have been under the belt of many
researchers and scientist. Maximum efficiency for photovoltaic cell with monochromatic light
has been achieved at a wavelength that is just short of cutoff wavelength for the
semiconductor [12].
16
26. (a) Application of LASER in SPS
Solar Power Satellite (SPS) is stationed in the geostationary orbit containing lots of photo
cells. The solar energy trapped by this can be transmitted to earth Rectenna as a LASER
beam. At the receiver this is converted back to electrical energy [7].
4.2.3 Comparison between LASER and MPT
The size of the antenna can be reduced by using LASER. LASER has high attenuation losses,
interference and gets diffracted by atmospheric particles. Conversion of waves is found to be
inefficient.
But to overcome this difficulties, the LASER system will have to be provided with ground
energy storage capacity or multiple sites located sufficiently far apart such that one site could
be available all times.
Microwave faces interference and the safety is the biggest concern. Another biggest concern
is the FRIED BIRD effect.

27. 5. MERIT, DEMERIT AND CHALLENGES OF WPT
5.1 Merit
The WPT would eliminate the high-tension power transmission line cables, towers and substation,
which are seen as not very efficient way of energy transmission. This will easily lead to the global
scale connectivity of power system. Thus the cost of transmitting and receiving the energy
becomes less expensive thereby reducing the tariff rate. Since here we do not use cable, electricity
would be reached to any places irrespective of the geographical situations. Loss of power through
transmission is negligible thus this method is more efficient. The natural hazards like earthquake,
landslides, flood and others cannot cut the power as long as the WPT system operates thereby
reliability is more compared to the wired transmission of energy. The power failure due to short
circuit, fault in the cable lines would never occur. The e-waste that is produces would be
drastically reduced thus it becomes more environment friendly. The space occupancy by the
infrastructures like power house, dam, substations and transmission grid lines will be eliminated.
The receiver can be embedded to any electrical devices and appliances that it need not use battery.
The portability of the electrical devices increases.
5.2 Demerits
Initial cost is very high for its practical implementation. Since microwave is used interference is high.
Even if LASE is used the conversion is difficult, suffers attenuation losses and is diffracted by
atmospheric particles [5]. The major concern remains the safety of the waves it emits: the biological
impacts. But the safety studies has been taken that its radiation level would be never higher than the
dose received while opening the microwave oven door, meaning it is slightly higher than the emissions
created by cellular telephones [1]. Thus the public exposure of WPT fields would be below existing
safety guidelines (ANSI/IEEE exposure standards). Since the energy is freely in the air energy theft
will occur
18
28. 5.3 Challenges
To sustain the constant power level, there are few challenges for WPT. This is due to the
electromagnetic wave scatters freely in space as it propagates, which causes the efficiency to
be much lower: leaving some energy left unused or transferred unused. But using multiple
antennae arrays will be able to solve the problem [14].
Other major challenges that are in front for the success of WPT is the outer space transmission
system [14] in its design. This system for WPT uses massive solar panels to collect the Sun’s
rays and sends that energy to the Earth through microwaves. The concerns that some
environmentalists are placing is the depletion of ozone layer by the radiation [14]. But this
technology is young and many researches are underway to incorporate the shortcomings.
Since the world is lit by wires and every electrical device is fed with wires, it will be biggest
challenge to implement the WPT technology. There should be complete revolution in the
electrical world for manufacturing and designing. Still the safety of the microwaves remains a
question for the public. Some of the countries which depend on electrical energy for the
economy like our country Bhutan: it will be a heavy blow. This was the main reason that
Tesla failed to convince then the sponsors and entrepreneurs of his time to carry out his
project.
5.4 Safety measures
Many thinks that WPT is not safe and fear its impact in human health and environment, but as per the IEEE
standard, but the safety studies has been taken that its radiation level would be never higher than the dose
received while opening the microwave oven door, meaning it is slightly higher than the emissions created
by cellular telephones [1]. Thus the public exposure of WPT fields would be below existing safety
guidelines (ANSI/IEEE exposure standards).

29. 6. APPLICATIONS
The WPT has a great variety of applications and environments ranging from small devices to
the big industries and machines. Thus application can be broadly used in two ways: direct
wireless power and energy to be used in other purposes.
In Direct Wireless Power (DWP) the need of the electrical energy of the devices can be fed
directly by embedding receiver on those devices from the OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer). Thus by using DWP our devices never runs out of battery, become more
reliable, convenient and environment friendly.
Since the waves can be received from any part of the globe our world will never dream in
darkness. Geographical terrors will not restrict the energy flow.
This technology can also be used to automatically recharge the electric vehicles, space crafts
and satellites.
The industries can use the wireless energy for any purpose. Their reliability in inefficient
wired energy can be eliminated.
In this phase WPT will have great application in outer space solar panels. Using the outer space solar
panels to collect the sun’s energy, solar powered satellites will be able to beam the energy back to
Earth [14]. This will drastically reduce our dependence on conventional fuels and it will certainly
solve the energy crisis.

30. CONCLUSION
The Wireless Power Transmission is noble technology in principle put forward by Nikola
Tesla. WPT has the potential to change the face of this planet with its implementation with the
revolution starting from electronics to the satellites. Ranging from charging the handset to
changing the effect of global warming WPT has the answer. The microwave power
transmission would replace the conventional inefficient technology. It will reduce the
dependence on the fossil fuels and other petroleum products that directly leads to the global
warming.
Currently the technology is progress and the researchers are trying their best to overcomed the challenges.
Though the practical implementation are limited at this stage due to lack of knowledge and technology, and
limited frequency ranges yet the studies are on and there can be alternative to the Earth’s burden of
other harmful techniques.
Currently wireless power transfer is the most marketable and sustainable alternative to fossil
fuel power plants.
