Title of the Project Dynamic Traffic Light Scheduling for Intelligent Transportation
Project Keywords intelligent transportation, smart traffic light, Internet of Things
Are you currently looking for research assistants? No
Number of Research Assistants Needed 1
Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mathematics
Project Location: Engineering campus or work remotely
If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? There should be shuttle service between FSU main campus and Engineering campus.
Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): Partially Remote
Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 6
Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)
Overall Research Project Description With the rapid development of self-driving cars and the Internet of Things, the cars at each intersection (within a certain range) will be able to communicate with each other and with the smart traffic light. Thus, the smart traffic light should be able to schedule the traffic signals dynamically based on the real-time traffic at each intersection. Such a dynamically scheduled traffic light may be locally optimal at each intersection. It would be interesting to find out how the performance of the entire transportation system is, which includes a large number of roads and traffic lights, and to compare the performance with traditional traffic lights with fixed scheduling or other traffic light scheduling proposed in the literature.
Research Tasks literature review, data collection, mathematical modeling, model analysis, simulation (coding and programming), presentation, etc.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: good math and programming background
Mentoring Philosophy Students and advisor can have short weekly or biweekly meetings to discuss the progress and challenges of the project. Students are expected to work independently and plan their timelines based on their progress.
