Cover Story: Traffic congestion and carbon emissions remain pressing challenges in urban mobility. This study explores the integration of UAV (drone)-based monitoring systems and IoT sensors with Large Language Models (LLMs) to optimize traffic flow. Using the SUMO simulator, we conducted experiments in three urban scenarios: Pacific Beach and Coronado in San Diego, and Argüelles in Madrid. A Gemini-2.0-Flash experimental LLM interfaced with the simulation to dynamically adjust vehicle speeds based on real-time traffic conditions. The comparative results indicate that the AI-assisted approach significantly reduces congestion and CO2 emissions compared to a baseline simulation without AI intervention. This research highlights the potential of UAV-enhanced IoT frameworks for adaptive traffic management. View this paper
