The proposed system, an Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System, utilizes Deep Reinforcement Learning to dynamically adjust traffic signal timings, minimizing vehicle waiting time and congestion, and optimizing traffic flow in real-time. This approach addresses the limitations of traditional fixed-timing systems, which are inefficient under dynamic traffic conditions. By learning optimal signal policies through interaction with a simulated traffic environment, the system aims to reduce traffic congestion and waiting time, improving overall traffic efficiency. The significance of this system lies in its ability to enable intelligent decision-making in smart cities, providing a scalable and real-time solution for urban congestion control. The system’s effectiveness is crucial in reducing travel time, fuel consumption, and pollution, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for urban residents.
