Optimization of traffic networks by using genetic algorithms

Not scheduled

Description

The amount of motor vehicles has been increasing over the years, mostly because of the new technology in automation. Today cars are relatively cheep and accessible, which enables most of the population to own one. Motor vehicles have been around for many years and most of the traffic networks were built in the past when the frequency was not as high as today. A lot of research has been done on optimizing the currently existing networks to provide to users the best service possible. Most of the solutions are focused on traffic management systems that simulate the current traffic of a given network and can predict traffic in near future. Some solutions even offer a way to increase the flow of the network. Our approach optimizes the network by changing the type of intersections in the network to increase traffic flow and decrease cost.
