Decentralised Car Traffic Control System
Introduction
This work aims at designing a car
traffic control simulation realised
in a decentralised way by message propagations: congested nodes (roads
intersections) send speed-up or slow-down messages to neighbouring
nodes. Different types of journeys have been modelled: regular car
journeys, accidents and emergency cars journeys. These journeys have
different lengths and speeds, and affect the system differently.
Optimal values of parameters, used during the simulations for
controlling the cars, have been determined through the use of a
genetic algorithm (GA). Several versions of the control system are
currently being realised.
