Methods for managing traffic congestion in smart cities and internet of things (iot) systems thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for managing traffic congestion in a smart city. The method includes predicting, based on a trained traffic state prediction model, one or more target areas where the traffic congestion is likely to occur from the preset area during a next time period by processing the traffic data information during the current time period, the traffic state prediction model being a Graph Neural Network (GNN) model and a predicted result being output by at least one node of a traffic state prediction model; determining whether a traffic scheduling strategy is needed to be switched based on traffic data information in the one or more target areas during the next time period; and in response to determining that the traffic scheduling strategy is needed to be switched, switching a first traffic scheduling strategy to a second traffic scheduling strategy.
