Abstract:
| | This session covers research used in practical highway traffic experiments for both monitoring traffic, and for mobile traffic control. Monitoring traffic reveals properties, such as the source of congestion which can be dynamic "stop and go traffic waves" or a stationary bottleneck resulting from road topology. The former can be smoothed in order to increase the overall MPG while not necessarily decreasing the throughput of traffic, and sometimes improving throughput as well. Models of the background traffic at large (macro) and small (micro) scale serve as the basis for control design. |
