Urban
traffic congestion represents a complex challenge influenced by many dynamic
factors. Peak periods typically exacerbate congestion, while bad weather can
slow vehicle movements and increase travel times. Accidents and road closures
cause sudden and unexpected disruptions, making traffic management a constant
challenge. Using a dataset of over 66,000 GTFS records with machine learning
classifiers like Random Forest, XGBoost, CatBoost, and Decision Tree models,
the study seeks to forecast traffic conditions. SMOTE is used to ensure greater
representation of minority classes in order to solve the dataset's intrinsic
imbalance, and feature scaling enhances model convergence. With an accuracy of
98.8%, Random Forest was the most accurate model for this challenge. The
outcomes demonstrate that the system is able to precisely forecast traffic in
real-time, which aids in route planning, traffic control, and enhancing urban
mobility.
