Kyng's algorithm can be applied in such cases to calculate the optimal, lowest-cost traffic flow for any kind of network—be it rail, road, water or the internet.

Eliminating unexplained traffic jams: New algorithm to alleviate traffic flow instabilities Date: October 28, 2013 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

The new algorithm solves these two problems in “almost linear” time, which means that the algorithm’s runtime is roughly proportional to the amount of time it takes merely to write down the details of ...

Our algorithm solves the uncapacitated minimum cost flow problem as a sequence of O(n log n) shortest path problems on networks with n nodes and m arcs and runs in O(n log n (m + n log n)) time. Using ...

We present a penalty-based algorithm that solves the multicommodity flow problem as a sequence of a finite number of scaling phases. The basis of the algorithm is simple and consists of iteratively ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

The well-known algorithm developed by mathematicians Lester R. Ford Jr. and Delbert R. Fulkerson also stems from this period. Their algorithm efficiently solves the maximum-flow problem, which seeks ...
