Inspiration

Well, mostly, procrastination. Just like any good last-minute project, this creation has its roots in someone procrastinating over getting their data structures homework done.

What it does

Our project primarily simulates traffic on a city-like grid of streets, at the same time using a reinforcement learning model to control the traffic lights and speed limits of each road.

How we built it

How did we build this, you ask? Well, it started out with a bit of over-the-shoulder coding and gradually devolved into a maelstrom of research, generative AI, and an amazing number of merge conflicts.

Challenges we ran into

AI is hard. Especially when no one on your team has ever used it before, at least in the way you intend to. Then, there are the standard challenges of dealing with sleep deprivation and working with other people.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Survival Building a working traffic simulation Building two separate AI models to manage it

What we learned

Maybe a little less ambitious next time? Or at least try out a few libraries ahead.

What's next for AI Traffic Management

Sleep. Then, maybe an update or two for the fun of it, but most importantly, more sleep.
