Abstract: An Al-based smart traffic signal control system is designed to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow efficiency. The system uses cameras and sensors to monitor real-time vehicle density at intersections. Captured data is processed using artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze traffic patterns. The controller dynamically adjusts signal timing based on congestion levels. Priority is automatically provided to lanes with higher vehicle density. The system reduces unnecessary waiting time at traffic signals. Emergency vehicles are detected and given immediate signal clearance. Historical data is stored to predict peak traffic hours. Adaptive learning improves decision-making over time. The system supports coordinated control between multiple intersections. IoT communication enables centralized monitoring and management. Reduced idle time contributes to lower fuel consumption. The solution helps minimize air pollution in urban areas. The design improves overall road safety and traffic efficiency. This intelligent traffic management approach supports smart city development.
