Traffic Control
Marie desJardins
 Why I picked it:
 I hate sitting at traffic lights
 Computing:

 If people spent less time
idling, it would reduce
greenhouse emissions and
calm road rage
Picture from a presentation by Peter Stone
 Adaptive traffic light timing
 Traffic intersection control (see
picture)
 Monitor traffic density (google
maps traffic option)
