  ABSTRACT: The application of Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle (PMP) to optimize the dynamics of vehicle queues in road traffic systems. We present a mathematical framework that integrates optimal control theory with traffic flow dynamics to enhance the efficiency and performance of road networks. By modeling vehicle behavior and interactions within queues, we identify optimal control strategies that minimize delays and maximize throughput. The proposed methodology includes a comprehensive analysis of system constraints and environmental factors impacting traffic flow. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the PMP approach in various traffic scenarios, highlighting significant improvements in queue management and overall traffic efficiency. Our findings contribute to the development of advanced traffic management systems and provide valuable insights for future research in transportation optimization.
