Jev runs a city’s traffic
A traffic simulation where Jev controls a whole city.
# Jev Traffic Sim An interactive Chicago traffic simulator that runs **one experiment**: you watch a single car cross real Chicago geography while the whole city simulates around it, and the same scenario is also played out by two deterministic baselines. **Live:** deploy URL is published with the release notes. ## The experiment | Column | What it is | | --- | --- | | **Fixed** | Signals on a fixed rotation. No sensing, no adaptation. The do-nothing baseline. | | **Adaptive** | Signals that react to local queue pressure and waits, with the same min/max green, yellow, all-red and starvation protection as everything else. | | **Jev** | A citywide policy from an external evaluation model (TypeSafe AI's `jev` through the Vercel AI Gateway). It sees only citywide traffic state and answers bounded, typed questions. Its answer becomes corridor/region weights and a small pressure modifier. | The visible run asks Jev for citywide policy. Fixed and Adaptive play the *same* scenario headlessly, in a worker of their own, so the trip you are watching never stalls. The label reports what actually governed the visible run. **Nothing about the driver changes the scenario.** Tourist and Local are two ways of driving the same trip in the same city: the tourist follows the shortest route and sits through queues; the local knows the network and reroutes around trouble. ## Same-scenario fairness A comparison is only shown when it is honest: - all three runs share one **scenario fingerprint**: the scenario (trip, traffic level, driver, seed, horizon) is hashed into a short id, and results with different ids are never put side by side; - all three runs are built from one **demand spawn list** and one **incident script**, so the weather in the city is byte-identical and only th
