The town of Lemgo in Germany is about to become a real-life laboratory for a project that aims to improve traffic flow as it will become the first place on earth to test “deep reinforcement learning” ...

This chapter presents the results of the literature review for operational traffic simulation models. Sources compiled for the literature review include guidance documents (general and DOT-specific), ...

Connected vehicle and infrastructure systems aim to cut congestion, fuel waste and idle emissions during rush hour.

Researchers from ORNL use the CAVE lab to place real vehicles in a virtual simulation, testing merging patterns to improve traffic flow. Credit: ORNL ...

It happens to every driver more often than he or she would probably like: Travel along a planned route, and somehow one manages to hit every single light along the way. Not only is it frustrating, but ...

Researchers examine the dynamics of social distancing practices, common defense against the spread of COVID-19, through the lens of particle-based flow simulations. The study models social distance as ...

Artificial intelligence, if carefully designed, could significantly reduce emergency vehicle delays in congested cities without worsening traffic for other road users, according to a new study ...
