Modeling and optimal dynamic control of traffic junction using waiting time minimization

Abstract

The presented paper deals with the modeling of traffic junctions using state equations in order to minimize the total waiting time. The task is to propose the optimal time interval for green light to decrease the number of waiting cars in all directions, thus to prevent the formation of traffic jam. The quality of proposed algorithm will be verified on a real traffic situation in London downtown. The verification of presented algorithm proposal and all figures were realized using Matlab-Simulink environment.
