We are investigating the properties of traffic flow in ant colonies. Ants seem to meet their transportation needs without traffic congestion or complex centralised control. By discovering how ants accomplish this, we increase our understanding of social behaviour in the natural world, and also provide the basic research on which applied solutions to human traffic problems can be based.

我们正在调查蚂蚁群体中的交通流量特性。蚂蚁似乎在没有交通拥堵或复杂的集中控制的情况下满足了它们的交通需求。通过发现蚂蚁是如何做到这一点的，我们增加了对自然界中社会行为的理解，也为人类交通问题的应用解决方案提供了基础研究。
