This thesis explores the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in improving road traffic safety, with a particular focus on their application in smart traffic lights and pedestrian crossings. Drawing on international experiences from the United States, China, Japan, and Europe, as well as recent pilot projects in Uzbekistan, the study highlights the potential of AI to reduce traffic congestion, prevent accidents, and enhance pedestrian safety. The research methodology includes analysis of academic literature, review of international case studies, and examination of the latest developments in AI-powered traffic management systems during 2023–2025.
