Traffic control agency deployment and signal optimization for event planning
First Claim
1. A system for traffic control resource planning, the system comprising:
- a memory having computer readable computer instructions; and
a processor for executing the computer readable instructions to perform a method comprising;
receiving information about available routes in a transportation network;
receiving an estimate of a traffic demand in the transportation network; and
performing traffic control planning, the performing including;
simulating a traffic flow based on the available routes and the traffic demand;
applying a model that varies traffic control agent (TCA) placement and traffic signal settings in the transportation network to minimize a cost associated with the traffic flow, the cost including a TCA deployment cost and a traffic delay cost;
outputting a traffic control plan based on the applying, the traffic control plan including a TCA placement and traffic signal setting plan;
monitoring, via a camera, an actual traffic flow on one or more of the available routes; and
updating the traffic control plan based on the monitoring.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to traffic control resource planning. An aspect includes receiving information about available routes in a transportation network and receiving an estimate of a traffic demand in the transportation network. Traffic control planning is performed and it may include: simulating a traffic flow based on the available routes and the traffic demand; applying a model that varies traffic control agent (TCA) placement and traffic signal settings in the transportation network to minimize a cost associated with the traffic flow, the cost including a TCA deployment cost and a traffic delay cost; and outputting a traffic control plan based on the applying, the traffic control plan including a TCA placement and traffic signal setting plan.
