Hesham Rakha is an engineering professor at Virginia Tech who studies traffic's flow ... designed an algorithm to calculate how real traffic might change as more self-driving cars hit the ...

Our algorithm teaches the robocars to optimize traffic flow by communicating with each other. The collective system of cars aims for smooth ... incorporate additional driving behaviors for robot ...

Not so for autonomous cars. Instead of gray matter and muscle memory, self-driving vehicles make decisions ... a red light is just going with the flow. Algorithms can also conclude that flashing ...

Hajbabaie wants to rewire the traffic infrastructure to control the flow of both people and robots. "The end goal," he says, "is to bring connected self-driving-car technology into traffic-control ...

Visualizing the future of smart cities While fleets of self-driving cars won’t appear on the streets overnight, Malikopoulos said that now is the time for researchers to begin visualizing the future ...

This algorithm achieves this equilibrium by dynamically fine-tuning safety parameters in real time. It allows self-driving cars to adeptly navigate unfamiliar and ever-changing scenarios ...

North Carolina State University researchers conducted a study that found adding a fourth light would improve traffic flow at intersections and would involve self-driving cars. Ali Hajbabaie ...

Call it fatalistic, pessimistic, or just really, really, smart, but a new self-driving car algorithm developed by researchers at Germany’s Technical University of Munich (TUM) thrives on ...
