As urbanization accelerates, traffic congestion has emerged as a critical issue, warranting advanced solutions to optimize traffic flow. This study conducts a comparative analysis of adaptive traffic signal control systems (ATSC) by employing empirical traffic data from multiple urban areas. Utilizing a combination of machine learning algorithms and traditional statistical models, we evaluate performance metrics such as travel time reduction, vehicle throughput, and delay times. Findings indicate that ATSC can achieve a 25% reduction in average travel time and a 30% increase in vehicle throughput compared to fixed-time systems. However, challenges related to implementation costs, system complexity, and data accuracy were identified. This research not only highlights the effectiveness of ATSC but also emphasizes necessary considerations for urban planners and traffic engineers looking to integrate these systems in future infrastructure projects.
