As such, the attributes of the algorithms embedded in the feedback influence how well the system responds to scheduled and unscheduled external events.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThis talk will first present a framework for the design of a real-time adaptive systems and some current work in traffic adaptive signal control systems require that various traffic data be collected in order to develop a traffic model within which the desired performance optimization can be completed.  These data include link travel times, turn proportions and queue discharge rates.  A brief discussion of a system developed by the presenter, referred to as RHODES, will be also discussed.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe second part of the talk will discuss the application of the framework for the design of a wide-area adaptive traffic management for evacuations\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Real-time Adaptive Traffic Management in Evacuation Operations","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Real-time Adaptive Traffic Management in Evacuation Operations"}],"uid":"27187","created_gmt":"2009-10-12 20:37:43","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:47:34","author":"Anita Race","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2008-11-03T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2008-11-03T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2008-11-03T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2008-11-03 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2008-11-03 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2008-11-03 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"3033","name":"real-time"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EAnita  Race\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EH.
