In recent years, urbanization has accelerated at an unprecedented rate, leading to significant challenges in traffic management. Cities around the world are grappling with congestion, increased travel times, and environmental pollution caused by vehicular emissions.
Traditional traffic management systems, often reliant on fixed signal timings and manual monitoring, struggle to cope with the dynamic nature of modern urban traffic. As a result, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions that leverage technology to enhance traffic flow, improve safety, and reduce environmental impact.
1.2 Problem Statement
Traffic congestion has become a pervasive issue in urban areas, resulting in wasted time, increased fuel consumption, and heightened stress for commuters. According to recent studies, traffic delays can lead to substantial economic losses and deteriorate the quality of life for residents. Additionally, the rising number of vehicles on the road contributes to increased accident rates and environmental degradation. This necessitates the development of an intelligent traffic management system that can adapt to real-time conditions and optimize traffic flow.
