St. Petersburg scientists propose to deal with the congestion with the help of mathematics

Scientists from Saint-Petersburg University propose to deal with the traffic jams with mathematics. It is reported by the GTRK “Saint-Petersburg”. For this, they propose to create so-called “digital double” of the transport system of the city.

the Essence of the proposal is as follows. To piece together information about all the problem areas on the roads, it is necessary to pre-test the usability of the highway on the mathematical model. In addition, to improve the situation on the roads can create a single navigation system. While scientists are not enough statistical data about the number of cars in a particular area of the city at different times of day or days of the week. But this problem easily solve by using a variety of video cameras installed across the city.

This mathematical approach is particularly useful in the construction of new roads. “Digital DoppelgangeR” will help to determine how more effective to build the infrastructure, and how it will affect the traffic situation.
