Introduction: Traffic congestion has been a city issue long enough, and the existing systems have not succeeded in managing it. AI-based models facilitate real-time optimization with enhanced analytics. AI application to traffic management is discussed in this paper, including methods, advantages, and limitations. With the confluence of AI, big data, and IoT, this paper explores solutions to smart, sustainable mobility in the city. Urbanization has brought traffic congestion with increased fuel consumption, emissions, and travel time for commuters. Pre-programmed signal-based traditional traffic systems lack a reaction to real-time. AI-based solutions facilitate predictive and adaptive traffic management to achieve optimal efficiency.
Objectives: To find smarter ways to manage city traffic using AI, big data, and IoT. The aim is to reduce problems like long travel times, high fuel use, and pollution caused by traffic congestion. By exploring advanced, real-time AI solutions, we hope to create a traffic system that adapts and responds quickly to changing conditions, making urban travel smoother and more efficient
Methods: The methodology begins with collecting traffic data from various sources, including real-time feeds from CCTV cameras, historical traffic records from urban databases, and IoT-enabled sensors installed at intersections. This data serves as the foundation for building AI models. For vehicle detection, a powerful AI model called YOLOv5, based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), is used to analyze traffic density accurately. To predict future traffic patterns, an LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model forecasts vehicle counts for 12-hour intervals, enabling proactive traffic management. To validate these models, the CARLA simulation platform replicates real-world urban traffic scenarios, ensuring the AI solutions are effective and practical in handling diverse traffic conditions.
Results: The results of implementing AI-based traffic management systems showed significant improvements. AI technology enhanced traffic flow, increasing throughput by 50%. The average delay for vehicles at intersections was reduced from 12 seconds to just 5 seconds, making travel faster and more efficient. Additionally, the systems contributed to environmental benefits, decreasing fuel consumption and emissions by 18%. A graph comparing vehicle throughput between traditional and AI-based systems highlights the efficiency gains, while an image diagram illustrates an AI-powered intersection with sensors and real-time data analysis, showing how these technologies work together to optimize traffic management.
Conclusions AI acts like a smart traffic manager for cities. By using machine learning (which helps computers recognize patterns), big data (collecting information from multiple sources), and IoT (connecting cars, traffic lights, and sensors), these systems make traffic flow smoother, safer, and more environmentally friendly. With fewer traffic jams, quicker responses in emergencies, and lower pollution, these AI systems offer a lot of benefits. However, there are challenges, like privacy concerns and the high costs of advanced technology. But as technology improves, these issues are gradually being resolved. In the near future, cities will be able to adapt and evolve more efficiently, keeping up with the changing needs of urban life. The call to action is clear: policymakers should prioritize AI in city planning to build smarter, faster, and thriving urban environments.
