A simple physics simulator made to collect data for a physics lab.
We were tasked with the problem of determining the lengths of different cycles of a traffic light. The problem was highly open-ended and we were only given a few parameters. (Link to lab coming soon)
This computer simulation is our solution to the complex problem of determining the optimal cycle for a traffic light. Although the simulation is fairly simplistic and does not take into account many real world variables (weather, time of day, road location, traffic production, etc.), it does provide a physics based estimate for the cycle.
-
Assume that the driver continues at a constant velocity - Create graphical representation of simulation
- Simulate the cycles of the other lights (red, green)
- Simulate the intersection
- Determine optimal cycle
-
Run tests with other velocities
