The Internet of Things (IoT) is essential in several Internet application areas and remains a key technology for communication technologies. Shorter delays in transmission between Roadside Units (RSUs) and vehicles, road safety, and smooth traffic flow are the major difficulties of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Machine Learning (ML) was an advanced technique to find hidden insights into ITSs. This article introduces an Improved Arithmetic Optimization with Deep Learning Driven Traffic Congestion Control (IAOADL-TCC) for ITS in Smart Cities. The presented IAOADL-TCC model enables traffic data collection and route traffic on existing routes for avoiding traffic congestion in smart cities. The IAOADL-TCC algorithm exploits a hybrid convolution neural network attention long short-term memory (HCNN-ALSTM) method for traffic congestion control. In addition, an IAOA-based hyperparameter tuning strategy is derived to optimally modify the parameters of the HCNN-ALSTM model. The presented IAOADL-TCC model effectively enhances the flow of traffic and reduces congestion. The experimental validation was performed using the road traffic dataset from the Kaggle repository. The proposed model obtained an average accuracy of 98.03 % with an error rate of 1.97 %. The experimental analysis stated the superior performance of the IAOADL-TCC approach over other DL methods.
