First week tutorial

31th Jan 2014 Friday

This is first Friday of new semester.It is the second time we meet our supervisor professor Simon Maskell.

During the meeting we discussed the understanding of Scoot system, which is known as the most advanced traffic control system. Yiwei and Gengguo will focus on this system in next few weeks. By referring the current Scoot system, these two group members will design their own control system, with varying the time parameter and change the traffic light signal to achieve the target.

The other two members Kegong and Wenlong are responsed to the traffic condition simulation. Movsim is decided to be the major software, which is used for real traffic simulation and could also achieve the specific condition designed by Scoot system. However, we have never learn the relevant code rules for this software. Therefore we mad an appointment with prof Maskell on next Wednesday for Movsim tutorial.

The short-term plan for this week is to have the basic understanding of these two system or software. Trying to design the simplest traffic control system and learn the current Movsim example.
