The problem
Fixed signal timings waste green time when traffic patterns change by hour, event and weather.
What to build
Develop a controller that observes queue lengths and adjusts phase timings safely, tested first in simulation against fixed timing.
Success looks like
Reduced average delay in simulation without breaching safety constraints, and a fallback to fixed timing on any sensor fault.
Suggested technologies
- Reinforcement learning
- SUMO simulation
- Computer vision
- Safety constraints
- Edge controllers
