Abstract

Traffic congestion is a growing problem in urban transportation networks around the world, having major consequences for the economy and the environment. As metropolitan populations rise and more people rely on autos for mobility, traffic congestion is becoming more common and severe. This review paper presents an overview of the economic and environmental issues caused by traffic congestion in urban areas, as well as proposed ways to reduce its negative effects. It discusses potential traditional transportation solutions such as traffic management infrastructure development, improving public transportation, and intelligent transportation solutions to address traffic congestion problems such as smart parking systems, and accident detection. The paper begins by defining traffic congestion and its causes, highlighting the extent of the problem in urban areas and its impact on the quality of life and economic productivity. and explores the economic costs of traffic congestion, including lost productivity, increased infrastructure expenses, reduced quality of life for residents, population growth, urban sprawl, and inadequate public transportation systems. Most of the research indicates that the ITS plays a major role in reducing many problems such as air pollution, fuel consumption, traffic congestion, and accidents, and reducing emissions of carbon dioxide by 80%. The study recommended that the road transportation sector contribute significantly and develop a framework for understanding the various sources of congestion, methods to address congestion by targeting these sources, and performance measures for monitoring congestion trends, as well as future recommendations in the field of ITS to make it more user-friendly and accessible.
