Congestion control in complex networks with higher-order interactions

交通拥堵严重影响了澳大利亚的经济和环境。该项目旨在开发具有开创性的城市交通系统网络模型，以构建新的拥塞控制框架。网络建模的目的是捕捉交通系统不同部分之间的相互依赖关系，这有助于研究网络中的拥塞级联。该项目预计将生成下一代网络模型，以实现更有效的拥塞控制。预期的结果包括新的拥堵控制技术，这些技术可以实时调整交通信号，以最佳地利用可用的道路空间。这应该会通过缓解交通拥堵为澳大利亚人带来显著的经济和环境效益。

Traffic congestion significantly costs the Australian economy and environment. This project aims to develop ground-breaking network models of urban traffic systems to build a new congestion control framework. The purpose of network modelling is to capture the interdependence between different parts of traffic systems, which facilitates studying congestion cascade within the network. The project expects to generate next generation of network models for more effective congestion control. Expected outcomes include novel congestion control technologies that adjust traffic signals in real-time to optimally utilise the available road space. This should provide significant economic and environmental benefits to Australians by easing traffic jams.
