Self-organizing traffic lights: A realistic simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have previously shown in an abstract simulation (Gershenson, 2005) that self-organizing traffic lights can improve greatly traffic flow for any density. In this paper, we extend these results to a realistic setting, implementing self-organizing traffic lights in an advanced traffic simulator using real data from a Brussels avenue. On average, for different traffic densities, travel waiting times are reduced by 50% compared to the current green wave method.

Self-organizing Traffic Lights
Steering traffic in cities is a very complex task, since improving efficiency involves the coordination of many actors. Traditional approaches attempt to optimize traffic lights for a particular density and configuration of traffic. The disadvantage of this lies in the fact that traffic densities and configurations change constantly. Traffic seems to be an adaptation problem rather than an opti...
متن کاملHistory-based Self-Organizing Traffic Lights
Managing traffic in cities is nowadays a complex problem involving considerable physical and economical resources. Multi-agent Systems (MAS) consist of a set of distributed, usually co-operating, agents that act autonomously. The traffic in a city can be simulated by a MAS with different agents, cars and traffic lights, that interact to obtain an overall goal: to reduce average waiting times fo...
متن کاملSelf-Organizing Traffic Lights as an Upper Bound Estimate
Self-organizing traffic lights (SOTL) methodology is highly popular and is the subject of much discussion (e.g., [1–7]). Zhung et al. [1] (based on constructions presented in [2]) claim that by using SOTL “overall better performance and higher capacity can be achieved” in comparison to the systems normally used by traffic authorities. “The idealized control scheme SOTL, which is designed to uni...
متن کاملSelf-organizing traffic lights at multiple-street intersections
The elementary cellular automaton following rule 184 can mimic particles flowing in one direction at a constant speed. This automaton can therefore model highway traffic. In a recent paper, we have incorporated intersections regulated by traffic lights to this model using exclusively elementary cellular automata. In such a paper, however, we only explored a rectangular grid. We now extend our m...

Nowadays, the use of intelligent control systems to reduce human error is one of the most popularresearch fields. Design and implementation of such controllers requires to actual knowledge of theenvironment conditions. Traffic lights as one of the inputs of intelligent control systems are significant.usually the traffic lights have the various physical structure. also, generally in image proces...
