Abstract
Traffic congestion is a pressing issue exacerbated by population growth and increased
automobile usage in urban areas. Megacities are particularly affected, necessitating
real-time traffic density calculations for improved signal control and management.
Our proposed solution utilizes live camera feeds for traffic density analysis and
employs AI algorithms to dynamically adjust traffic signals based on vehicle density.
This approach aims to reduce congestion, decrease travel times, and mitigate
environmental impact. By optimizing traffic control, our system offers faster transit
and contributes to a more sustainable urban environment.

Existing Model
AI-baseAn effective existing model for real-time traffic signal optimization integrates
YOLOv8 for vehicle detection with a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm, such as
Deep Q-Learning (DQN) or Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C). YOLOv8 processes real-
time video feeds from traffic cameras, identifying and counting vehicles by type
(e.g., cars, bikes, trucks) to estimate traffic density. This data serves as input for the
RL model, which dynamically adjusts signal timings to reduce congestion and
waiting time at intersections. The RL model's state includes the traffic density,
current signal state, and historical traffic patterns, while its actions involve adjusting
green light durations to optimize flow. The model is trained with a reward function
that minimizes idle green light time, queue length, and overall congestion, leading
to smoother and more responsive traffic management.
Proposed Model
Real-time traffic monitoring employs CCTV cameras to collect and analyze traffic
density data, along with tracking vehicle types. This system enables dynamic
adjustment of traffic signals based on the real-time data gathered, helping to
reduce congestion and improve traffic flow. Additionally, it provides accurate, up-
to-the- minute data that supports informed decision-making in traffic management,
allowing authorities to make timely adjustments to traffic patterns, enhance road
safety, and optimize overall transportation efficiency. By continuously monitoring
traffic conditions, the system can contribute significantly to smarter urban mobility
and better infrastructure planning.
