Parallel transportation:virtual-real interaction for intelligent traffic management and control

Abstract

The concept,architecture,methods and applications of parallel transportation systems were introduced.The main idea is to build software defined artificial transportation systems for specific traffic application tasks and scenarios;use computational experimental methods for experiments,analysis,evaluation,prediction,learning,and optimization;and parallel execution is conducted for management and control of urban transportation systems,leading to virtual-real interactive parallel intelligence.Parallel traffic management and control is an extension and application of ACP approach,which emphasizes using virtual-real interactive ways to generate parallel intelligence for urban transportation systems,towards improving the intelligence of urban traffic management and control.
