Congestion in urban areas is a significant problem that negatively affects human health and the natural environment. In recent years, machine learning algorithms have shown great promise for improving traffic prediction and management. This article explores the potential of several machine learning techniques, including Decision Trees, Random Forests, Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Neural Networks, for predicting traffic congestion. Traffic volume, temperature, time of day, and road type are a few of the variables included in the Seattle Traffic Flow Speeds dataset utilized by researchers to evaluate the effectiveness of each technology. The tests demonstrate that the algorithms can accurately predict where and when traffic congestion will occur. The potential applications and consequences of algorithms for predicting traffic congestion in real time, integrating traffic management systems, devising the most efficient routes, and managing traffic are investigated. The studies supporting machine learning algorithms in traffic management emphasize potential benefits such as reduced travel times, less congestion, and improved transportation efficiency.
