Internal traffic congestion: A new application of Kruskal’s Theorem

Abstract

New technologies offer new possibilities to fight against internal traffic congestion in seaports. Only few researches have exploited this subject so far.Our study focuses on the internal traffic of vehicles. Indeed, congestion results in many little actions which lead to bigger consequences. In order to optimize the internal network, a reflexion on traffic in the stock zone will be done under schemes of Kruskal’s Theorem, which will provide us the information needed about the potential effect of autonomous vehicles on the traffic as well as their potential power in reducing the risk of congestionWith this theorem, it is essential to consider a good ponderation of unexpected events that might be encountered on roads.Moreover, a new theory of management helping to limit congestions from social problems will be highlighted.
