Abstract—

The increasing demand for efficient traffic management in urban areas is crucial for enhancing safety, reducing congestion, and improving overall mobility. This study focuses on the design and implementation of an intelligent traffic control system at two critical intersections in Pune: Balewadi High Street Bridge and Lt. Baburao Habaji Saykar Chowk. The study identifies key traffic flow issues, including congestion, delay, and poor intersection geometry, and proposes the use of advanced traffic control measures such as traffic signals, road markings, and intelligent systems to manage peak traffic loads. The study identifies key traffic flow issues, including congestion, significant delays, poor intersection geometry, and inefficient signal timing, which hinder smooth vehicular movement. In response to these challenges, the research proposes the deployment of advanced traffic control measures, including optimized traffic signals, road markings, sensor-based monitoring systems, and adaptive traffic management technologies to ensure real-time responses to changing traffic conditions. The intelligent system is designed to prioritize traffic flow efficiency while enhancing pedestrian safety and reducing vehicle idle time, which contributes to lower fuel consumption and decreased carbon emissions.Through field observations, traffic data collection, and simulation modeling, the study evaluates current traffic patterns and proposes tailored interventions suited to the specific conditions at each intersection. The implementation of such intelligent systems aims not only to manage peak traffic loads but also to provide scalable solutions that can be applied to other urban intersections across Pune and similar metropolitan areas. Ultimately, this research contributes to the development of sustainable urban transportation networks by offering practical solutions that balance mobility needs with safety and environmental concerns.
