Abstract:
Traffic congestion has become a major problem in this rapidly growing world. Everyone operating a vehicle, as well as the
traffic police in charge of managing the traffic, finds it difficult to become stuck in heavy traffic. For this a set, predetermined timing
for traffic flow for each direction at the junction is utilized by traditional traffic light controllers. However, the concept of a fixed time
traffic signal controller does not work well in places with chaotic traffic patterns. A dynamic traffic control system is therefore required,
which regulates the traffic signals in accordance with the volume of traffic. This paper proposes a model that uses reinforcement
learning (RL) along with deep neural networks (DNN) to manage discretions (signal status) for the proffered environment with the
help of Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO). The main objective of this research study is to construct a model that can independently
determine the best course of action and aims to provide better traffic management that will decrease the average waiting time, cause
lower congestion, and provide a smooth flow of traffic.
