Накратко на български

Взаимодействието между светофарите и системите в автомобилите се изследва, за да работят те синхронизирано. Това помага за намаляване на задръстванията, разхода на гориво и замърсяването на въздуха в градовете.

Coordination for Efficient and Green Urban Mobility

Nowadays, urban traffic congestion has become a permanent part of life in big cities. In addition to the negative environmental effects of traffic congestion and immense financial costs due to delays and the increase in fuel consumption, the life quality of individuals is influenced due to e.g. stress, and idle time behind red traffic lights. Congestion may also effect the safety by increasing the risk of accidents. As a remedy, methodological improvements along with advanced technological developments in communication systems, driver assistance systems, and also automated vehicles have turned the spotlight on more efficient use of the existing infrastructure. In the literature, this issue has been tackled independently from two different points of view, corresponding to two main players with a key role for mobility in urban networks: traffic lights and vehicles. Traffic signals serve the overall traffic flow efficiency while driver-assistance systems in vehicles serve the individual drivers’ interests. The aim of this project was to make traffic lights and vehicles work together and Coordinate for Efficient and Green Urban Mobility (CEGUM). By offering a balanced trade-off between system- and user-optimum, CEGUM targets safer and faster mobility in cities with lower fuel consumption, less air pollution and less frustration for the European citizens due to reducing the idle-time behind the red lights.

Цел на проекта

Traffic hotspots in Europe are expected to generate over 203 billion Euro of economic cost by 2025. Traffic congestion in cities raises serious concerns on the level of CO2 emissions, fuel consumption and discomfort to drivers due to prolonged travel time and large idle time behind the red lights. Unnecessary acceleration and deceleration towards traffic junctions can also highly contribute to extensive use of fuel, increase in emissions and engine and brake wear. Current traffic signal control approaches are not adequate for tackling the problem because they focus on traffic flow efficiency and disregard the individual drivers’ interests. The aim of this project is to develop a method that does not only coordinate all the traffic signals in an urban network, but also takes the vehicle speeds in to account and effectuates a coordination between the traffic lights and vehicle speeds alike. Such a coordination will make the most of the infrastructure and technological developments for reaching an efficient, eco-friendly, and safe urban mobility. Due to the complexity and stochastic nature of the traffic system, the coordination problem will be addressed by integrating model-based distributed control techniques with reinforcement learning-based algorithms. Comprehensive analysis and benchmarking will be performed to obtain a complete evaluation of the idea and prove its effectiveness in improving urban mobility with respect to different indices like fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and number of stops. Adaptive cruise control systems already installed in a large number of cars in European countries. Automakers are announcing the marketing of autonomous cars in the coming years. Soon European cities should be ready to make the most of these technological developments to provide more efficient, cleaner and safer urban mobility and this project is a strong step towards this direction.
