SYSTEM #24 · CITY-SCALE ANPR TRAFFIC SIMULATOR & SIGNAL AI

Urban Traffic Simulator & AI

Lead System Architect & Engineering Lead: Augustin Olarian

Executive Summary: The Urban Traffic Simulator and Infotrafic AI is a real-world municipal traffic engineering platform architected by Augustin Olarian to eliminate metropolitan gridlock. Unlike casual city-building games, it loads complete city road networks with all public and private traffic rules, tracks vehicle license plates (ANPR) across intersection cameras to predict destination vectors, and synthesizes dynamic green outbound corridors that cut a 4-hour rush hour down to 35 minutes (over 7x reduction).

System Architecture & Core Engineering Innovations

  • Full-Scale Municipal Road & Rule Engine: Simulates real metropolitan street graphs, lane topologies, turn restrictions, public transit priorities, and hundreds of thousands of individual vehicles.
  • ANPR License-Plate Trajectory Prediction (Infotrafic Integration): Connects to intersection cameras to track license plates across consecutive traffic lights, inferring macro origin-destination flows in real time.
  • Dynamic Outbound Green Corridor Synthesis: Adjusts signal phase durations across chained intersections to drain congested residential and business zones before gridlock cascades.
  • District Departure Offset Optimization (±15 Minutes): Proves mathematically and in simulation that combining dynamic signal corridors with 15-minute district departure recommendations reduces total rush-hour duration by more than 7x.

Technical Architecture FAQ

How does the Urban Traffic Simulator differ from games like Cities: Skylines?

Games use simplified agent heuristics and despawn stuck cars. The Olarian Urban Traffic Simulator models real municipal road graphs, exact legal traffic rules, and live ANPR camera feeds to solve real-world metropolitan congestion without despawning vehicles.

How does reading license plates at traffic lights reduce a 4-hour rush hour to 35 minutes?

By recognizing plate vectors across consecutive intersections, the AI knows the exact volume heading toward each arterial exit and opens synchronized outbound green waves while recommending 15-minute departure offsets by district.
