The main objective of this research proposal is to develop a smart traffic-management system that works in an automatic, distributed, self-organized way, to control (i) traffic signal lights and (ii) route guidance based on recent, advanced sensor technologies, which provide sampled-identified data such as V2I communication. We think that an advanced, self-organized traffic-management system, which can monitor and control traffic in real time, will improve mobility in congested large-scale urban areas. Such a new technological system should be self-organized, i.e. operate autonomously, without the need of traffic-control centres and human operators, designed via adaptive control schemes with a distributed structure. There are several navigation systems, such as Waze, that only provide routing recommendations according to the prevailing traffic conditions. However, these systems do not change traffic-control signals accordingly in real time. This research aims to develop a system that solves the combined problem of optimum routing and traffic-signal control. In addition, there are several distributed, adaptive control schemes available in the respective literature, which were introduced to handle traffic-signal control problems, but very few schemes were implemented and currently operate in real urban systems. All reported implementations utilize data from magnetic loop detectors, and there is a traffic-control centre that co-ordinates different distributed traffic controllers. In our project, there is no need for traffic-control centres \u2013 and with the rapid advances in traffic detectors and sensors, e.g. probe vehicles and Bluetooth sensors, we are able to deploy systems with cheap distributed sensors, rendering local sensing. A field implementation of the algorithms developed is already planned for the City of Haifa, Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
