Intelligent Traffic Signals: Schedule-driven Coordination

As part of the Traffic21, a multi-disciplinary transportation research initiative of CMU, we are investigating the design and application of look-ahead scheduling strategies and decentralized coordination mechanisms for real-time traffic signal control in urban road networks. We are also interested in some further eco-ITS extensions, such as integration with real-time route guidance, vehicle-to-intersection communication, and energy efficiency optimization.
