Abstract
The problem of optimal freeways traffic control is described by a detailed non-linear discrete-time model. A four-level hierarchical algorithm is developed to compute the optimal control strategies. Simulation results indicate the efficiency of the developed algorithm in bringing congested traffic flow back to normal operation.
期刊介绍:
Optimal Control Applications & Methods provides a forum for papers on the full range of optimal and optimization based control theory and related control design methods. The aim is to encourage new developments in control theory and design methodologies that will lead to real advances in control applications. Papers are also encouraged on the development, comparison and testing of computational algorithms for solving optimal control and optimization problems. The scope also includes papers on optimal estimation and filtering methods which have control related applications. Finally, it will provide a focus for interesting optimal control design studies and report real applications experience covering problems in implementation and robustness.
