| Abstract | Urban transportation systems encounter significant challenges in extracting meaningful traffic patterns from extensive historical datasets, a critical aspect of smart city initiatives. This paper addresses the challenge of analyzing and understanding these patterns by employing various clustering techniques on hourly urban traffic flow data. The principal aim is to develop a model that can effectively analyze temporal patterns in urban traffic, uncovering underlying trends and factors influencing traffic flow, which are essential for optimizing smart city infrastructure. To achieve this, we applied DBSCAN, K-Means, Affinity Propagation, Mean Shift, and Gaussian Mixture clustering techniques to the traffic dataset of Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city. The performance of these clustering methods was evaluated using the Silhouette Score and Dunn Index, with DBSCAN emerging as the most effective algorithm in terms of cluster quality and computational efficiency. The study also compares the training times of the algorithms, revealing that DBSCAN, K-Means, and Gaussian Mixture offer faster training times, while Affinity Propagation and Mean Shift are more computationally intensive. The results demonstrate that DBSCAN not only provides superior clustering performance but also operates efficiently, making it an ideal choice for analyzing urban traffic patterns in large datasets. This research emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate clustering techniques for effective traffic analysis and management within smart city frameworks, thereby contributing to more efficient urban planning and infrastructure development. © (2024), (Science and Information Organization).
