In other words, no matter how many lanes of road you build in and around American cities, you can't stop cars from jamming them up. cities from 1983 to 2003, they also provide evidence for a fundamental law of road congestion - one that extends beyond interstate highways to include a "broad class of major urban roads." By analyzing traffic data and road capacity in U.S.
In a research paper published in this month's American Economic Review, a pair of economists from the University of Toronto confirm the fundamental law of highway congestion, but argue it doesn't go far enough. cities suffered from a fundamental law of highway congestion: "This Law states that on urban commuter expressways, peak-hour traffic congestion rises to meet maximum capacity." What was the case half a century ago remains true today. The project is an ongoing collaboration between University of Melbourne, PeakHour Urban Technologies, the Victorian Department of Transport, and Telstra, leveraging AWS.In 1962, transportation researcher Anthony Downs suggested that U.S. “Not only does this world first technology help Victorians navigate congestion by predicting traffic patterns hours in advance, but it paves the way to the future of connected and autonomous vehicles,” Minister Carroll said. Victorian Minister for Transport Ben Carroll who attended this morning’s launch said managing a complex transport network presents many real-time challenges. The Victorian Department of Transport provided traffic data and insight to support the creation of the application. We are using a multidisciplinary approach, combining deep knowledge of mobility with vast amounts of real-time data analytics to predict and optimise traffic in large cities,” PeakHour Urban Technologies Founding CEO Omid Ejtemai said. “Pioneering AI in forecasting real-time traffic lies at the heart of this effort. Industry partner PeakHour Urban Technologies developed the application’s AI core engine which runs on AWS and powers the engine’s predictive capabilities.ĪWS provides PeakHour Urban Technologies the scalability to ingest, store, and process large amounts of traffic data, the ability to adapt to an ever-changing transport network, and the breadth and depth of cloud services to support PeakHour Urban Technologies with its AI solutions. “If we can upscale the application to provide more accurate prediction with machine learning and real-time data, it will soon be possible to substantially reduce delays in hotspots across Melbourne and many locations across the globe.” “The application observes the nature of traffic and figures out complex traffic patterns across the network through machine learning built into the technology,” Professor Sarvi said.
Transport engineering expert and AIMES Director Professor Majid Sarvi said the application can also optimise traffic signals for on-road vehicles, freight, and public transport such as buses and trams. University of Melbourne’s Australian Integrated Multimodal EcoSystem (AIMES) brought together PeakHour Urban Technologies, the Victorian Department of Transport, and Telstra to create a large-scale AI application hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which can predict traffic conditions across Melbourne. Launched today, a world first project seeks to use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict traffic congestion up to three hours ahead, optimising traffic in large cities and improving road safety as part of the University’s smart cities ecosystem.
