The book begins with a historical overview of traffic management and progresses through key concepts like sensor technology, communication protocols, and decision-making algorithms. It analyzes various traffic scenarios, demonstrating how robotic systems can manage dynamic lanes and predict traffic routing. By incorporating data from traffic simulations and real-world experiments, the book provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness of robotic traffic management.
This book stands out by focusing on autonomous robotic systems as active agents in shaping traffic flow, rather than simply automating existing infrastructure. It adopts an analytical approach, using clear language and examples to explain complex technical concepts, making it a valuable resource for urban planners, transportation engineers, and policymakers interested in the future of urban mobility.
