Measuring the Complexity of Self-Organizing Traffic Lights

Measuring the Complexity of Self-Organizing Traffic Lights

We apply measures of complexity, emergence, and self-organization to an urban traffic model for comparing a traditional traffic-light coordination method with a self-organizing method in two scenarios: cyclic boundaries and non-orientable boundaries. We show that the measures are useful to identify...
