Traffic congestion remains a significant concern in urban centers, leading to increased emissions, commuter delays, and economic losses. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative data from simulation models and qualitative insights from urban planners to evaluate the effectiveness of adaptive signal control systems (ASCS) in reducing congestion. Utilizing a case study in Downtown Metro City, the research analyzes traffic patterns pre- and post-ASCS implementation, revealing a 25% reduction in average vehicle delay and a 30% improvement in throughput. These findings highlight the potential of ASCS as a viable solution to mitigate urban traffic challenges.
