Abstract
The increase in vehicle density and the push for autonomous mobility make it challenging for traditional transportation networks to adapt to changing conditions in real time. Smart transportation, which integrates real-time data, predictive modelling, and multi-objective optimisation, is necessary to enhance Autonomous Vehicle (AV) navigation inside Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Route optimization based on traffic, energy use, and safety can not only cut down on travel time and fuel use, but it can also increase road safety. Using IoT sensors, environmental data, and public transit schedules, an Adaptive Traffic-Oriented Pathfinding Algorithm (ATOPA) is proposed that prioritizes safety while lowering trip time, energy consumption, and congestion. By addressing scalability, privacy, and infrastructure concerns, this algorithm positions itself as a crucial component in the development of intelligent, sustainable, and efficient smart transportation systems in the era of autonomous mobility.
