Abstract	Rapid urbanisation, population growth, and increasing vehicle ownership have intensified traffic congestion, road accidents, air pollution, and transportation inefficiencies across cities worldwide. Conventional traffic management systems primarily rely on fixed-time signal control, manual monitoring, and reactive decision-making, which are often inadequate for addressing the dynamic nature of modern transportation networks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology for Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS) by integrating Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Computer Vision, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, edge computing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication to enable real-time traffic monitoring, predictive analytics, and autonomous traffic control. This study examines the role of Artificial Intelligence in intelligent traffic management systems using a qualitative and analytical research methodology based on secondary data collected from peer-reviewed journals, transportation reports, smart city initiatives, and international case studies. The study explores AI applications in adaptive traffic signal control, congestion prediction, accident detection, route optimisation, intelligent parking management, public transportation optimisation, emergency vehicle prioritisation, and autonomous vehicle coordination. The findings indicate that AI-powered traffic management systems significantly improve transportation efficiency by reducing travel time, minimising traffic congestion, enhancing road safety, and lowering fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Machine Learning algorithms analyse real-time traffic flow, weather conditions, GPS data, surveillance camera feeds, and sensor information to optimise traffic signal timings, predict congestion hotspots, and support proactive traffic management. Integration with IoT devices, Digital Twins, edge computing, and 5G communication further strengthens real-time decision-making and infrastructure resilience. However, challenges including cybersecurity threats, data privacy concerns, interoperability issues, infrastructure costs, algorithmic bias, and regulatory complexities remain major barriers to large-scale implementation. The study concludes that AI-driven Intelligent Traffic Management Systems represent a critical component of future smart cities by enabling sustainable, efficient, safe, and intelligent urban mobility.
