FireFly: A Synchronization Strategy for Urban Traffic Control.

摘要

The researchers presented a synchronization strategy for urban traffic based on triggering events initiated by traffic lights that improves over existing algorithms. Simulations of urban traffic on a massively parallel machine provide a quantitative measure of the effectiveness of this strategy and allow for comparisons with existing ones. They also showed that augmenting general control procedures with vehicle sensors that provide a measure of queue length in the streets does not lead to improved performance over existing strategies.
