Urban Traffic Control and Monitoring – An Approach for the Brazilian Intelligent Cities Project

  • Conference paper
Practical Applications of Intelligent Systems

Abstract

This paper describes an urban traffic control system which aims at contributing to a more efficient traffic management system in the cities of Brazil. It uses fuzzy sets, case-based reasoning, and genetic algorithms to handle dynamic and unpredictable traffic scenarios, as well as uncertain, incomplete, and inconsistent information. The system is composed by one supervisor and several controller agents, which cooperate with each other to improve the system’s results through Artificial Intelligence Techniques.
