Optimal steady-state traffic control for isolated intersections
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 control problem can be solved analytically. In addition, necessary condition for the steady-state control is derived.

An Optimal Dynamic Control Method for an Isolated Intersection Using Fuzzy Systems
Traffic flow systems are nonlinear and uncertain, so it is very difficult to find their optimal points. In traditional traffic control systems, the traffic lights of crossings change in a fixed time period that is not optimal. On the other hand, most proposed systems are sufficiently capable of coping with the uncertainties of traffic flow. To solve this problem, there is a need to develop expe...
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 کاملCooperative driving at isolated intersections based on the optimal minimization of the maximum exit time
Traditional traffic control systems based on traffic light have achieved a great success in reducing the average delay of vehicles or in improving the traffic capacity. The main idea of these systems is based on the optimization of the cycle time, the phase sequence, and the phase duration. The right-of-ways are assigned to vehicles of one or several movements for a specific time. With the emer...
متن کاملArrival Rate Identification for a Class of Traffic Signal Control Problem
Setting signals at traffic intersections to reduce congestion is one of the most challenging problems in traffic management. To find the optimal control strategy, specific information of the traffic flows passing through intersections, such as vehicle arrival rates (number of vehicles per hour), must be provided in advance. In most control approaches, this parameter is assumed to be a known con...
متن کاملEffect of Gap Acceptance Behavior of the Right Turning Vehicles on the Major Road Stream for Uncontrolled Three-Legged Intersections under Mixed Traffic Conditions
Uncontrolled intersections are the intersections where there are no external signs or signals to control the movement of vehicles. In mixed traffic conditions priority rules are often violated by the road users. In All-way-stop-controlled intersections (AWSC), the vehicle should stop themselves before they enter the intersection and should check whether any vehicles are present in the other app...
