Abstract

Traffic congestion remains a critical global issue impacting economic growth, environmental sustainability, and urban livability. This study introduces a novel methodological optimization framework leveraging multi-agent systems (MAS) for traffic flow simulation. Employing a combination of empirical data from urban road networks and advanced simulation techniques, we demonstrate the framework's efficacy in enhancing traffic management strategies. The qualitative analysis reveals significant improvements in traffic efficiency, with reductions in average vehicle delay by up to 30%. Quantitatively, statistical tests confirm the framework's robustness, achieving a p-value of less than 0.01 in the comparative evaluation against traditional simulation methods. These findings underline the potential of MAS-driven frameworks in addressing contemporary transportation challenges.
