will have to create another traffic control strategy and its simulation. However, this time it will have to be done without traffic lights and with a smart intersection management strategy.
Most of the time, overused intersections might lead to serious traffic jams on multiple roads, which wastes drivers'time and money, and also causes unnecessary air pollution. Additionally, according to a study from the National Highway Traffic Safety administration in the U.S., it is reported that about 96% of the intersection-related crashes had critical reasons to be the drivers fault, such as inadequate surveillance, false assumption of other actions, and turns with obstructed view.
[Autonomous vehicles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-driving_car) (AVs) are a promising solution to traffic accidents. An optimistic prediction is that AVs will be publicly available in the next decade, and thus traffic issues related to autonomous vehicles are also being extensively investigated.
If a vehicle is driving with a high velocity and encounters another vehicle, it must detect that vehicle and keep a safe distance from it. It should not collide!
1. The creation of vehicles must be done using the keyboard events. It must be able to randomly generate vehicles with different routes. The keys to be used are the following :
3. The `Esc` key must finish the simulation and generate a window with all statistics (you can see more about the statistics on its section).
4. When spamming the same key the vehicles should not be generated all at the same time, in other words, the vehicles should not be created on top of each other.
Your program must be able to generate statistics, as stated above. These must be displayed in a window, right after the user tries to exit the simulation.
- The time starts to count whenever the vehicle is detected by the **smart intersection algorithm** until the end of the intersection, which is when the vehicle is removed from the canvas.
