Optimising traffic light systems using particle swarm optimisation / Amanina Rozani

Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) is a commonly used method to solve optimisation problems. These problems typically aim to maximise or minimise a subject. The PSO method was proposed by Kennedy and Eberhart, inspired by the movement of animals in swarms. This method assumes that every swarm particl...
