Optimal Steady-State Control for Isolated Traffic Intersections

Optimal steady-state traffic control for isolated intersections

In this paper a simplified isolated controlled intersection is introduced. A discreteevent max-plus model is proposed to formulate the optimization problem for the switching sequences. The formulated max-plus problem is converted to be solved by linear programming (LP). In the special case when the criterion is a strictly increasing and linear function of the queue lengths, the steady-state con...

A 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...

Optimal Control for a Steady State Dead Oil Isotherm Problem

We study the optimal control of a steady-state dead oil isotherm problem. The problem is described by a system of nonlinear partial differential equations resulting from the traditional modelling of oil engineering within the framework of mechanics of a continuous medium. Existence and regularity results of the optimal control are proved, as well as necessary optimality conditions. Mathematics ...
