In the context of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the development of efficient and reliable traffic light detection mechanisms is crucial for enhancing road safety and traffic management. This paper presents an optimized convolutional neural network (CNN) framework designed to detect traffic lights in real-time within complex urban environments. Leveraging multi-scale pyramid feature maps, the proposed model addresses key challenges such as the detection of small, occluded, and low-resolution traffic lights amidst complex backgrounds. The integration of dilated convolutions, Region of Interest (ROI) alignment, and Soft Non-Maximum Suppression (Soft-NMS) further improves detection accuracy and reduces false positives. By optimizing computational efficiency and parameter complexity, the framework is designed to operate seamlessly on embedded systems, ensuring robust performance in real-world applications. Extensive experiments using real-world datasets demonstrate that our model significantly outperforms existing methods, providing a scalable solution for ITS and ADAS applications. This research contributes to the advancement of Artificial Intelligence-driven (AI-driven) pattern recognition in transportation systems and offers a mathematical approach to improving efficiency and safety in logistics and transportation networks.展开更多
