Modeling Urban Flow

Using graph theory and discrete-event simulation to study traffic bottlenecks and adaptive signal timing.

Sample method: construct a four-intersection road graph, sample traffic demand, run discrete-event queue simulations, and compare constrained adaptive timing with fixed-cycle signals.

1. 01

   Road-network graph

2. 02

   demand sampler

3. 03

   queue simulation

4. 04

   constrained signal optimization.

Results are illustrative and use a synthetic network. Real-world traffic calibration, repeated-seed uncertainty, and validation against observed traffic are pending.
