A multivariable regulator approach to traffic - responsive network - wide signal control $
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the design approach, the objectives, the development, the advantages, and some application results of the traffic-responsive urban control (TUC) strategy. Based on a store-and-forward modelling of the urban network traffic and using the linear-quadratic regulator theory, the design of TUC leads to a multivariable regulator for traffic-responsive co-ordinated networkwide signal control that is particularly suitable also for saturated traffic conditions. Simulation investigations demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach. Results of TUC’s first field implementation and evaluation are also presented. Finally, summarising conclusions are drawn and future work is outlined. r 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Traffic-responsive Urban Network Control Using Multivariable Regulators
The paper presents the philosophy, the aim, the development, the advantages, and the potential shortcomings of the TUC (Traffic-responsive Urban Control) strategy. Based on a store-and-forward modelling approach and using well-known methods of the Automatic Control Theory, the approach followed by TUC designs (off-line) and employs (on-line) a multivariable regulator for traffic-responsive co-o...
متن کاملA Quadratic-Programming Approach for the Signal Control Problem in Large-scale Congested Urban Road Networks
The problem of designing real-time traffic signal control strategies for large-scale congested urban road networks is considered. A generic, simple, network-wide problem formulation is presented in the format of a discrete-time optimal control problem whose numerical solution is achieved by use of quadratic-programming algorithms. Some procedures enabling the application of the proposed approac...
متن کاملA Stochastic Optimal Control Approach to Real-time, Incident-Responsive Traffic Signal Control at Isolated Intersections
Real-time incident-responsive traffic control and management is vital to development of advanced incident management systems in ITS. More importantly, it provides, from an academic point of view, the linkages between incident detection, incident management, and traffic signal control. This study explores the application of a stochastic optimal control approach to real-time incident-responsive t...
متن کاملTraffic Signal Prediction Using Elman Neural Network and Particle Swarm Optimization
Prediction of traffic is very crucial for its management. Because of human involvement in the generation of this phenomenon, traffic signal is normally accompanied by noise and high levels of non-stationarity. Therefore, traffic signal prediction as one of the important subjects of study has attracted researchers’ interests. In this study, a combinatorial approach is proposed for traffic signal...
متن کاملOptimal Signal Control in Urban Road Networks with High Priority Congested Centers
Keeping the density of traffic flow and air pollution in an acceptable level and developing a good capacity for transit in the high priority areas of the city, is really a big deal in large and crowded cities. To address this problem, a new method of intersection signal optimization is presented in this paper. Based on network fundamental diagrams, an Internal–External Traffic Metering Strategy...
