BalanCity: Smart Traffic Load Balancing for Sustainable
Cities
2015-2016
Managing motorized traffic flows is an important issue in every major
metropolitan area. Especially in Amsterdam, which should take into account
economic productivity loss due to traffic congestion but also noise and air
pollution. We propose a route planning system which considers multiple,
collective and concurrent objectives concerning congestion and pollution on
various roads, and balances traffic over the road network in a highly
effective way. The project will produce a technological proof-of-concept,
including a demonstrator website, of such a load balancing system, using
techniques from artificial intelligence, traffic science, and multi-agent
systems, as well as open map, traffic, and pollution data.
