Abstract:
1. A method of modeling and optimizing a transportation network, the method comprising: receiving from a first processing module, via a wireless network, at least one value indicative of a corresponding traffic flow through a first intersection, the at least one value having been obtained by processing data from a video signal from a camera at the first intersection; using the at least one value to update a model of the transportation network, the model being continually updated as data is received from a plurality of sources in the transportation network, the transportation network comprising the first intersection and at least a second intersection; obtaining a representation of a current state of the model and performing a predictive optimization of the current state of the model to determine an instruction for predictively optimizing a controller at the second intersection; and sending the instruction to a second processing module at the second intersection via the wireless network, to enable the second processing module to have the instruction implemented by the controller at the second intersection to optimize at least a portion of the transportation network.
