MIE Distinguished Seminar Series: Smart Infrastructure for Future Urban Mobility
Mechanical Engineering 5 King's College Rd, Toronto, Ontario, CanadaStephen F. Smith (The Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University) Abstract: Real-time traffic signal control presents a challenging multi-agent planning problem, particularly in urban road networks where (unlike simpler arterial settings) there are competing dominant traffic flows that shift through the day. Further complicating matters, urban environments require attention to multi-modal traffic flows (vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, […]
