AI support in real time
A major traffic intersection required an intelligent control system to optimize the prioritization of mobile units. The goal was to enhance average speed and prevent delays. By implementing artificial intelligence (AI), the process was successfully improved.
Challenge
Manual prioritization of mobile units at a traffic intersection led to delays. The reason: The optimization potential in the control system remained untapped.
Consulting approach
By integrating data pipelines and training an AI using reinforcement learning, an intelligent agent was created to provide crucial support.
Client benefits and solution
The intelligent control system assists the dispatcher in real time. Delays are significantly reduced through optimization of the average speed.
The Challenge in Detail:
In the past, the prioritization of mobile units passing through a traffic intersection was done manually. Optimizing the average speed was not feasible, often leading to delays. Due to the high complexity and dynamic nature of the situation, an analytical solution was not effective – that’s why valantic focused on an AI-based solution. Simulations and historical data served as the training foundation for the system.
Solution & Results in Detail:
The AI project was realized through the following measures:
