Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] To address the problem that the existing traffic control system mainly relies on fixed signal light timing and simple traffic flow monitoring, lacks the ability to comprehensively analyze and dynamically control multiple sources of data such as traffic flow, vehicle emissions and ambient air quality.

[0057] The collaborative execution unit is configured to push low-carbon travel suggestions to users through mobile applications or information, and execute traffic control instructions.

[0058] The technical effects of the above content are as follows: the data acquisition unit collects traffic flow data in real time, allowing the system to accurately understand the carbon emissions and traffic conditions of the central business district road network. The data analysis unit, based on a reinforcement learning algorithm, combines historical and real-time data to predict the regional carbon footprint change trend within the next hour and generate traffic control instructions, which can dynamically adjust traffic light timing. For example, during peak traffic hours, this can improve road capacity and alleviate traffic congestion.

It can accurately identify key nodes with high traffic flow, frequent congestion and many traffic conflict points. By accurately identifying key nodes, the deployment planning module can provide a scientific basis for the deployment of monitoring equipment. Deploying monitoring equipment at these key nodes can ensure that the collected data is more representative and can effectively reflect the overall operating status of the central business district road network.
