Dear All, If you know of anyone who might be interested in The vacancy below, please can you pass on the details. Further information can be found at:- http://www.ucl.ac.uk/transport-studies/jobs.htm Many thanks Sandy Robertson __________________________________________________________ UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON Centre for Transport Studies Research Fellow Distributed Adaptive Control for Traffic Signal Systems The purpose of this two-year EPSRC-funded project is to develop and test a novel approach to traffic responsive signal control using recent technologies of machine learning. The approach that will be pursued is to use evolutionary computing and reinforcement learning with performance fed back from a microscopic traffic simulation. This project is collaborative between the Centre for Transport Studies at UCL and the Intelligent Computer Systems Centre at the University of the West of England (UWE), and will draw on contributions from the Oscar Faber and Bittern consultancies. The research fellow will be responsible for the development and evaluation of formulations of signal control for use with the evolutionary algorithms that will be developed by colleagues at the UWE. Appointment on the Research 1A scale, with a starting salary in the range £18,909 to £20,865 (including London Weighting) on the RA1A scale.
