Background of the Study
Traffic congestion remains a significant issue in urban centers, leading to delays, increased fuel consumption, and air pollution. Traditional traffic control systems, while effective to an extent, are often unable to handle the dynamic and complex nature of real-time traffic flow. Machine learning models have shown promise in automating traffic control, using data such as traffic density, weather conditions, and road events to optimize signal timings. However, the computational requirements for such real-time data processing can overwhelm classical computing systems.
Quantum-inspired machine learning algorithms can harness quantum computing principles to enhance the efficiency of traffic control systems. By simulating quantum processes, these algorithms can analyze large volumes of traffic data more efficiently, leading to faster decision-making and better traffic flow management. This study will explore the development and implementation of quantum-inspired machine learning techniques for automated traffic control at the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Abuja.
Statement of the Problem
Current traffic control systems in Nigeria, including those managed by the Federal Road Safety Corps, often struggle to optimize traffic flow in real time due to the complexity of managing large, dynamic datasets. While machine learning holds potential for improving traffic management, the existing models may not be able to process the data efficiently enough to make real-time decisions. Quantum-inspired machine learning algorithms offer a potential solution, but their application in traffic control systems is still underexplored in Nigeria. This study aims to investigate how these algorithms can enhance automated traffic control in Abuja.
Objectives of the Study
To develop quantum-inspired machine learning models for automated traffic control at the Federal Road Safety Corps, Abuja.
To evaluate the effectiveness of quantum-inspired machine learning in optimizing traffic flow and reducing congestion.
To analyze the feasibility of integrating quantum-inspired algorithms into existing traffic management systems.
