A grandes rasgos, para solucionar el problema de si para cruzar Madrid a la
hora punta mas vale tomar la M60", o no buscar la ruta mas corta sino la que
llegue antes segun la hora del dia.

nerdyH brings us a report about a Linux-based device being developed at
MIT which [0]aims to reduce traffic congestion as well as assist
automotive research projects. "The current focus of the project is in
developing algorithms that run on top of the portal application to help
drivers plot the best route at a given time. For example, the team's
MyRoute project includes applications that model delays observed on road
segments as statistical distributions. Various algorithms then use these
to compute optimal routes for different times of the day. 'Instead of
asking the shortest time or shortest distance from point A to point B,
you ask what route should be taken, say, for the highest probability of
getting to the airport by a certain time depending on the time selected,'
says Madden."
