Navigating Car Traffic

a talk presented by
the Computer Science Dept.
and the ACM Club

How can cars use onboard navigation to deal with traffic? Imagine tracking a fleet of representative vehicles, using GPS. All other vehicles on the road could use the resulting broadcast traffic data in real time, in an algorithm that finds the quickest routes to their destinations. Carola Wenk describes an international multi-university research effort.

Prof. Wenk is an Assistant Professor at U. Texas-San Antonio, and a former colleague of Prof. Peter Brass.
