Traffic lights synchronization for Bus Rapid Transit using a parallel evolutionary algorithm

This article presents a parallel evolutionary algorithm for public transport optimization by synchronizing traffic lights in the context of Bus Rapid Transit systems. The related optimization problem is NP-hard, so exact computational methods are not useful to solve real-world instances. Our researc...
