CONSTRUCTION OF SPECIALIZED MODELS OF ROAD TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS IN HARDWARE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGES

Abstract

The paper presents the construction method of specialized models of road traffic controllers realized within VHDL language. The designer solves the problem of lack of graphic representation and the necessity of a very good command of VHDL language by using utility software CAD allowing for designing traffic control devices that would be pleasant and intuitive in use for the traffic control engineer. The construction method of a controller has been proposed in the article on the basis of formal specification models having intuitive graphic representations. The first stage consists in changing the algorithms of road traffic control into a network of generalized stochastic automata (GSA) activities. The method of conversion has been presented for all types of control algorithm frames. Afterwards, the way of conversion of GSA network into the transition graph of finite state machine (FSM) was presented, where in order to increase the clarity of control graph, it was proposed to introduce hierarchical states for interstage transitions as well as traffic phases. With the use of hierarchical graph of control, universal structure of logic road traffic controller has been proposed. This controller has been specified within Active-HDL program which generated a model of logic controller in VHDL language.
