In this paper a novel computationally efficient model predictive control (MPC) method for optimizing flows at urban intersections is proposed. Several linear and quadratic MPC approaches have been developed in the literature to reduce the computational complexity of the proble ...
Freeway congestion can reduce the freeway throughput due to the capacity drop or due to blocking caused by spillback to upstream ramps. Research has shown that congestion can be reduced by the application of ramp metering and variable speed limits. Model predictive control is ...
In this paper, we develop a hierarchical approach to optimize the signal timings in an urban traffic network taking into account the different dynamics in all traffic regimes. The proposed hierarchical control framework consists of two layers. The first layer--the network coor ...
