Algorithm for Effective Movement of Emergency Vehicles from Traffic Control Signal

Optimizing Traffic Signal Control for Emergency Evacuation

Agent‐Based Modeling (ABM) is an effective strategy for simulating the emergent properties of complex systems. This form of simulation models the behaviors of individual agents interacting with each other and with their world. ABM is well suited for problems such as modeling behaviors during emergencies, or critical incidents. These situations can range from getting people out of a burning buil...

Heuristic Algorithm for Priority Traffic Signal Control

consider the multiple requests for priority in a way that is not disruptive, or inefficient, to other traffic. Other factors, such as occupancy and schedule adherence, are important considerations that can be used to manage which priority requests should be served, but it is still likely that multiple transit vehicles will desire priority service. The approach presented in this paper is an inte...

Improving Travel times for Emergency Response Vehicles: Traffic Control Strategies Based on Connected Vehicles Technologies

Intelligent Traffic Management System for Prioritizing Emergency Vehicles in a Smart City (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Traffic congestion worldwide has led to loss of human lives due to failure in transporting accident victims, critical patients, medical equipment and medicines on time. With the unending growth in vehicular traffic everywhere, Internet of Things (IOT) and Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) have embarked as a promising platform for an Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS). Many researches h...

CoSign: A Fictitious Play Algorithm for Coordinated Traffic Signal Control

The problem of finding efficient coordinated signal timing plans for a large number of traffic signals is a challenging problem because of the exponential growth in the number of joint timing plans that need to be explored as the network size grows. In this paper, we employ the game-theoretic paradigm of fictitious play to iteratively converge to a locally optimal coordinated signal timing plan...
