Abstract
A prediction system for simulating effects of a real-world event can be used for autonomous driving. In operation, the system receives input data regarding a complex system (e.g., roadways) and various real-world events. A full-scale network is constructed of the complex system, such that nodes represent road intersections and edges between nodes represent road segments linking the road intersections. The network is reduced is scaled down to generate a multi-layer model of the complex system. Each layer in the model is simulated to identify equilibrium flows, with the model thereafter destabilized by applying stimuli to reflect the real-world event. An autonomous vehicle can then be caused to chart and traverse a road path based on road segments and intersections that are least affected by the real-world event.
