Introduction: Traffic congestion is a major issue in urban areas, leading to wasted time, increased fuel consumption, and increased air pollution. Smart traffic optimization using machine learning is an innovative approach that can help reduce traffic congestion by improving traffic flow and reducing travel time. In this project, we aim to develop a smart traffic optimization system using machine learning techniques to optimize traffic signals and reduce traffic congestion.
Methodology: The project will involve collecting data on traffic patterns and signal timings using sensors installed at different intersections. The collected data will be analyzed using machine learning algorithms to identify patterns and predict traffic flow. The machine learning model will then be used to optimize the timing of traffic signals and improve traffic flow. The system will be tested and evaluated using simulations and real-world experiments.
