Multi-target vehicle detection in urban traffic faces challenges such as poor lighting, small object sizes, and diverse vehicle types, impacting traffic flow prediction accuracy. This study introduces an optimized long short-term memory (LSTM) model using the Komodo Mlipir algorithm (KMA) to enhance prediction accuracy. Traffic video data are processed with YOLO for vehicle classification and object counting. The LSTM model, trained to capture traffic patterns, employs parameters optimized by KMA, including learning rate, neuron count, and epochs. KMA integrates mutation and crossover strategies to enable adaptive selection in global and local searches. The model's performance was evaluated on an urban traffic dataset with uniform configurations for population size and key LSTM parameters, ensuring consistent evaluation. Results showed LSTM-KMA achieved a root mean square error (RMSE) of 14.5319, outperforming LSTM (16.6827), LSTM-improved dung beetle optimization (IDBO) (15.0946), and LSTM-particle swarm optimization (PSO) (15.0368). Its mean absolute error (MAE), at 8.7041, also surpassed LSTM (9.9903), LSTM-IDBO (9.0328), and LSTM-PSO (9.0015). LSTM-KMA effectively tackles multi-target detection challenges, improving prediction accuracy and transportation system efficiency. This reliable solution supports real-time urban traffic management, addressing the demands of dynamic urban environments. © 2025, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science. All rights reserved.
