Abstract
A network device receives, from multiple smart cameras located at different road segments of multiple real-world road segments, first data describing a location and configuration of each of the multiple real-world road segments, and second data describing movement of one or more objects at each of the multiple real-world road segments. The network device generates multiple virtual road segments based on the first data, wherein each of the multiple virtual road segments describes one of the multiple real-world road segments; and uses a physics engine to simulate, based on the generated multiple virtual road segments and the second data, movement of vehicles or pedestrians through the multiple real-world road segments to analyze traffic characteristics, trends or events. The network device generates road segment alterations for reconfiguring one or more of the multiple real-world road segments based on the analysis of the traffic characteristics, trends, or events.
