Traffic

Traffic Intersection Simulation is a specific application of Objective Functional Analysis. Traffic Intersection Simulation models a real world traffic intersection. The duration of the green light in both directions of the intersection is chosen by maximizing the objective function. The objective function is formed as a separably additive function of three objective functions; (1) the number of vehicles that make it through the intersection, (2) the average speed of the vehicles, (3) the average distance moved by each vehicle.

This simulation grew out of my disgust with driving to and from work. The simulation currently models only a single intersection. I had envisioned that I would expand the simulation to an array of 10x10 intersections. However, computations for a single intersection are quite time consuming. So unless I can figure out a more efficient computation or modeling mechanism, I am less inclined to pursue the multiple intersection modeling.
