OSaaS is a traffic signal control system that utilizes data from connected vehicles as the only input. Powered by a newly proposed stochastic traffic flow model, this system has been successfully tested and implemented in real-world settings, demonstrating a significant reduction in delays and the number of stops at signalized intersections. This work was published in Nature Communications, making it one of the earliest transportation engineering articles featured in the Nature series. It has also received significant media attention, including coverage by
University of Michigan News, the
Associated Press, and the
Wall Street Journal.
