Urban intersections increasingly suffer from con- gestion, delayed emergency response, and frequent traffic rule violations, exposing the limitations of fixed-time traffic controllers and manual enforcement. This work presents an AI-based in- telligent traffic signal control system that integrates adaptive signal control, real-time emergency vehicle prioritization, and automated violation detection into a unified framework. A deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent dynamically adjusts signal phases based on live traffic density, aiming to reduce queue lengths and average waiting time. In parallel, a YOLOv8-based computer vision pipeline detects emergency vehicles and common violations such as red-light jumping and helmetless riding from surveillance video streams, triggering green-corridor creation and automated logging of offender details. The system is prototyped on a four-way intersection model using ESP32-driven signal towers and an overhead camera, enabling real-time closed- loop operation. Experimental evaluation using a custom toy-car dataset and a YOLOv8 backbone achieves 92.6% precision, 94.1% recall, and an mAP@50 of 0.962 for object detection, with inference rates sufficient to sustain 25 fps for intersection- scale monitoring. These results demonstrate the feasibility of low-cost, AI-driven traffic control that simultaneously improves flow efficiency, emergency response, and violation enforcement at urban junctions.
