Traffic congestion is a significant issue in urban cities, as it restricts traffic flow, increases fuel consumption, and produces high emissions. Traditional traffic signal systems work on fixed timing without considering real-time variations in traffic and often worsen the problem. This paper describes an adaptive traffic signal control system based on the YOLO (You Only Look Once) algorithm, using object detection for real-time signal timing in response to real-time traffic. The system applies real-time vehicle detection and tracking at intersections for dynamic management of green light time according to volume and vehicle type. The proposed approach makes vehicle recognition significantly efficient and responds quickly to the change in traffic situation. The paper discusses the design, implementation, and evaluation of performance in a simulated environment. The results demonstrate improved traffic management and reduced congestion, offering a promising solution to smart city traffic control.
