Researchers have developed VeloCity, a new decentralized framework for managing urban traffic using connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). This system allows individual CAVs to independently plan their routes and reserve space-time slots, minimizing travel times and avoiding collisions. VeloCity has demonstrated significant improvements in reducing travel times and preventing congestion gridlocks across simulations of major cities like Tokyo, Manhattan, Rome, and Bologna. AI
IMPACT This framework could significantly improve urban mobility and reduce congestion through decentralized, intelligent traffic control.
