A pioneering use of Artificial Intelligence to manage traffic – Keith McCabe – Simplifai Systems et al

An Artificial Intelligence heuristic, born out of space exploration techniques, has been applied to address and improve complex traffic congestion in Hull City. The system utilises existing traffic data to create dynamic models of the traffic, allowing a spectrum of approaches to be applied through traffic signal timing adjustments. We will look at the nature of the challenge, the project objectives, the AI application, and the results achieved.
