Adaptive Decentralized and Collaborative Control of Traffic Lights
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to design an improved control system for arbitrary urban traffic networks based on Organic Computing concepts. For control of these networks a decentralized structure consisting of small computers at every node of the net is proposed. Each node is viewed as an autonomous agent with limited sensory horizon. It tries to adapt itself such that the local traffic throughput is maximized. Additionally communication takes place between adjacent nodes which leads to an iterative global optimisation through collaboration of the agents. The paper discusses the approach in detail and introduces the controller architecture.

Traffic Lights Control with Adaptive Group Formation Based on Swarm Intelligence
Several traffic control approaches address the problem of reducing traffic jams. A class of them deals with coordination of traffic lights to allow vehicles traveling in a given direction to pass an arterial without stopping. However, in cities where the business centers are no longer located exclusively downtown, this approach is not appropriate: simple offline optimization of the synchronizat...

This paper investigates the robust decentralized nonlinear control of power flow in a power system using a new configuration of UPFC. This structure comprises two shunt converters and one series capacitor called as hybrid power flow controller (HPFC). A controller is designed via control Lyapunov function (CLF) and adaptive observer to surmount the problems of stability such as tracking desired...
متن کاملAn ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL SCHEME AND ITS IMPLEMENTATIONIN WSN-BASED ITS
We investigate the problem of adaptive control of traffic lights using real-time traffic information collected by a wireless sensor network (WSN). Previous studies mainly focused on optimizing the intervals of green lights in a fixed sequence of traffic lights, and ignored some traffic flow’s characteristics and special traffic circumstances. In this paper, an adaptive traffic light control sch...
متن کاملDecentralized Model Reference Adaptive Control of Large Scale Interconnected Systems with Time-Delays in States and Inputs
This paper investigates the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delays in interconnected terms and state and input delays. The upper bounds of the interconnection terms are considered to be unknown. Time varying delays in the nonlinear interconnection terms are bounded and nonnegative continuous functions and thei...
