A New “Intelligent Routing” Algorithm for Cars Could Dramatically Improve Traffic Flow

“Computer scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore are working on an algorithm that can reduce traffic jams through intelligent routing. The program runs with the breakdown assumption, which is idea that at some point within a large traffic density, something (such as an accident) will probably happen. The program’s task is to minimize the probability of such a traffic breakdown.

After working their algorithm in simulations, and further analysis with BMW, the team is confident that their algorithm can positively improve traffic — even if just 10percent of the cars in a network are driving according to their optimizations…”
