Abstract

The issue of traffic congestion is a major problem in metropolitan places all over the world. It results in longer travel times, elevated levels of environmental pollution, and a general decline in the quality of life. The purpose of this research study is to investigate, from the point of view of civil engineering, the crucial confluence of traffic flow optimization and urban planning. The objective is to explore novel approaches that have the potential to reduce traffic congestion, improve the effectiveness of transportation, and encourage environmentally responsible urban growth. The investigation takes a multidisciplinary approach, using a variety of methodologies,
including urban planning techniques, data analytics, and civil engineering concepts. The analysis of traffic patterns, the identification of bottlenecks, and the evaluation of the efficiency of various traffic management methods are all carried out with the assistance of real-world case studies and advanced simulation tools.
