Could environmentally friendly, energy-efficient high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) become the preferred and quickest mode of transportation? Berkeley Engineering researchers think so. Using a simulated environment, a team — including Smart Cities Research Center director Jane Macfarlane and civil and environmental engineering professor Scott Moura — has created a traffic signal control algorithm that maximizes the throughput of people, rather than vehicles, at intersections. Dubbed HumanLight, the novel technology uses AI to prioritize and reward passengers of HOVs with more green lights.
