Event Date
Congestion Reduction via Personalized Incentives
Event Description
This webinar will discuss research on developing real-time algorithms to reduce traffic congestion and improve routing efficiency via offering personalized incentives to drivers. The research team proposes to exploit the wide accessibility of smart communication devices and develop a real-time look-ahead incentive-offering mechanism using individuals' routing and aggregate traffic information. The researchers theoretically show the convergence of the proposed distributed algorithm under a mild set of assumptions that are verified with real data.
