Title A Simulation of Traffic Patterns and Optimizing Traffic Lights
Oct. 4: Deciding on a project, looked at Repast, MASON, NetLogo - traffic models.
Oct. 6 - began making random cars in NetLogo. Using the single intersection model
as a starting shell.
Oct. 13 -
Oct. 18 - Current applet - intersection, cars wrap around
Oct. 20 - New additions - 2 directions, 4 lanes, different types of vehicles, with trucks/cars
Dec. 20 - Current Status Update
Right now, I am implementing a smart system where cars accelerate and slow
down when they are far or near from other cars. This would provide accurate
traffic simulation. Hopefully I can get to the point where I can implement
turning lanes and other various traffic variables. After that point I should be
at a point where I can add more lanes.
