Finite State Machine (Traffic Light)
This interactive simulator explores Finite State Machine in Engineering. Traffic-light Moore machine: timed green–yellow–red cycle or manual step; state graph. Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Suited to beginners and first exposure to the topic. Typical context: Engineering.
Key terms
- finite
- state
- machine
- finite state machine
- engineering
How it works
A minimal Moore-style machine: each state drives the lamp outputs; time events trigger the next state. The graph on the right is the state diagram.
