Background of the Study
Urban areas worldwide face significant challenges related to traffic congestion, and Jos City, Plateau State, is no exception. Increasing population growth, urbanization, and vehicular activities have escalated traffic congestion, resulting in delays, environmental pollution, and economic losses. Traditional traffic management systems, reliant on manual controls and static infrastructure, struggle to address the complexities of modern traffic dynamics.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a transformative solution to urban traffic management. AI-driven traffic flow management systems analyze real-time data from traffic cameras, sensors, and historical trends to optimize traffic signal timing, reroute vehicles, and predict congestion patterns. These systems enhance efficiency, reduce delays, and improve overall urban mobility.
This study investigates the impact of AI-driven traffic flow management systems in Jos City. It focuses on how AI technologies can optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve the quality of life for commuters.
Statement of the Problem
Traffic congestion remains a critical issue in Jos City, causing economic inefficiencies, increased commute times, and environmental degradation. Traditional traffic management methods are insufficient in addressing these challenges. This study explores how AI-driven traffic flow management systems can provide real-time solutions and enhance urban mobility.
