Please join CTS-IGERT in welcoming Dr. Rahim F. Benekohal who will present a seminar entitled, "Computational Intelligence in Optimizing oversaturated Traffic Signal Networks" Download: "Computational Intelligence in Optimizing oversaturated Traffic Signal Networks" Abstract: Traffic signal coordination plays a significant role in reducing congestion and improving capacity utilization of street network systems. Real time traffic management has a great potential for optimal operation of intersection networks, yet its use is limited. It requires not only the infrastructure to gather the data, but more importantly the appropriate knowledge and techniques to utilize the information wisely. Computational intelligence has been used to develop such smart techniques as well as in understanding the consequences of control strategies. This presentation discusses the issues in signal optimization in networks of oversaturated intersections and computational issues in real-time traffic control. Then it presents the findings when genetic algorithms and evolution strategies are used in finding optimal solutions for oversaturated intersections. The decision space for even a small network becomes very large (in the order of 5.6x1050) for even a small network, and requires an intelligent search technique instead of exhaustive one. Effects of population size and selection pressure on fitness values were examined by incorporating ES or GAs with the micro-simulation package. Biography: Dr. Benekohal is a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Benekohal’s area of expertise is in traffic operations, modeling, simulation, capacity analysis, and transportation systems evaluation. He has published over 200 articles and reports in these fields. He won the Arthur M. Wellington Prize for the best paper in Transportation from American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 1993. He also received the Past President’s Award from Illinois Section of Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) for exceptional service to the transportation profession in 1998. Dr. Benekohal is the director of the Annual Illinois Traffic Engineering and Safety Conference. He is also Director of the Traffic Operations Laboratory at the University of Illinois. Dr. Benekohal is Co-Director of NEXTRANS the Region 5 University Transportation Center. He is an Honorary Professor of civil engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology, China. Dr. Benekohal is active in professional organizations such as TRB, ASCE, ITE, and ITS. To learn more about Dr. Benekohal's research, please see: http://cee.illinois.edu/node/94 |
