Abstract

Urban centers worldwide face growing traffic congestion, resulting in increased travel times, fuel consumption, and carbon emissions. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) combined with machine learning offer promising solutions for optimizing urban traffic management. This paper investigates the implementation of machine learning models in ITS to predict traffic patterns, control signal timings, and manage dynamic traffic flows. Results show that machine learning significantly improves traffic efficiency, reduces congestion, and supports sustainable urban mobility.
