Intelligent, Collaborative Transportation System

Vehicles, robots, and other autonomous devices could soon work with people on their transportation plans thanks to researchers at MIT who are developing systems capable of negotiating and determining the best route. Ultimately such systems could be used to control autonomous vehicles like personal aircraft and driverless cars, but in the short term, the researchers are developing systems to allow conventional vehicles to work with their drivers to plan routes and schedules. This simulation shows the system's possibilities, with improved plan diagnosis.
