• Abstract:
  Traffic congestion causes significant economic costs, wasted time, and public health risks. According to the 2021 Urban Mobility Report, the total cost of congestion in 2019 was $190 billion in the U.S. and the total amount of delayed time was 8.7 billion hours with an extra usage of 3.5 billion gallons of fuel. The Harvard Center for Risk Analysis found that traffic congestion led to 4,000 premature deaths with a public health cost of around $31 billion in 2000 across 83 urban areas.
