Abstract: A method of controlling a traffic system having a plurality of intersections with switchable traffic lights and road sections located between the intersections includes detecting traffic loads of multiple relevant road sections, determining a local stress function for each relevant road section depending on the detected traffic load of the respective relevant road section, determining a global stress function for the entire traffic system based on the local stress functions, determining, using a quantum concept processor, improved switching times for the traffic lights of the intersections adjacent to the relevant road sections, wherein the improved switching times are determined such that the global stress function reaches a smallest detectable value, and switching the traffic lights according to a switching model based on the improved switching times.

Abstract: Methods for analyzing text corpora for inferring potential threats and risks are becoming ever more established. While the present achievements are based on an analyst-driven analytical process, the embodiments provide for a semantic analysis of dynamic developments in changing text corpora, involving an acquisition of text corpora, application of a probabilistic concept model, and providing a similarity remapping.

Abstract: A method for controlling the information exchange between at least one central computer and a subscriber via a control system. Following a request from the subscriber, the control system receives the data relevant to the subscriber from the central computer in a first control phase. In a second control phase, information transmitted from the subscriber is processed and transmitted to the central computer. The first and the second control phases are defined by a single control program.
