RE: Ant Colony, Traffic Flow, and Urban Design
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Communication between ants has always fascinated me, how they are in sync and how the ant trail moves in an organized manner. How a crumb on the kitchen counter is infested by them in several minutes. How they were able to get to that so fast and how their radar is so sharp. We have so much to learn from them. Any thoughts if the ant system could solve our busy EDSA?

It is viable to adapt the ant colony to optimized traffic flow in EDSA, but it may not be the right solution. As I observed, EDSA traffic induced by multiple factors like population density, no. of cars, peoples behavior, no. of intersections, to name a few. Ant's trail are adapted that they have mutual respect to allow others to join or merge in an crowded lane. But for us, some are not really discipline in the road and always takes pride of being the first one (not even allowing others to merge through a junction or intersection). Going back to whether ant system could solve the EDSA traffic, it is provable option to take but we need more discipline and coordination from our people, authorities and the industries along EDSA. !PIZZA

Good point regarding the discipline required--something that we need to learn from ants as well.
