Computer simulation eases real-world Chinese traffic jams

A small-scale computer simulation has reduced gridlock in central Jilin City, China, but it’s no magic bullet.NTT Data conducted the simulation of traffic conditions in Jilin using an x86 server. It was able to make recommendations that resulted in marginally better road conditions—the average speed for vehicles in the study area improved by 1 to 2 kilometers per hour, and for public buses arrival times improved 7 percent on average.Though modest, the results are an example of the promise
