Dynamic Cooperative Signal-Speed Control of Signalized Networks
Investigator:	Ghassan Abu-Lebdeh, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

With proliferation of wireless communication, we can think of electronic speed signs that can display remotely-changeable speed limits (that are also electronically and remotely enforceable). This research will incorporate this form of speed and treat it as a decision variable that would be changed cooperatively and dynamically—along with signal displays—to manage traffic in signalized urban networks. Current control methods treat speed as a fixed "quantity," or constraint, that should be adhered to. Genetic algorithms will be used to find the optimum solutions.
