Traffic congestion, a major economic and environmental burden, is worsened by inefficient traffic lights leading to higher CO2 emissions. This study explores Deep Q-learning (DQN), a form of reinforcement learning (RL), to optimize traffic light timing and reduce pollution. Using a Barcelona traffic model in SUMO, we demonstrate that DQN-based traffic management can significantly decrease pollution compared to traditional methods. This research highlights the potential of RL for intelligent and sustainable traffic management.
