Operational Control Solutions for Traffic Management on a Network Level

Due to the ever-growing traffic demand, urban areas all over the world are<br/>facing serious congestion problems. To mitigate the negative impacts of congestion, for many years more roads were built and traffic management measures locally implemented. Regardless all the extra asphalt and local control solutions, nowadays demands are often still...

Fast Model Predictive Control Approaches for Road Traffic Control

Traffic congestion has become a global issue that has a significant impact on our societys productivity. Its negative effects not only lie in the travel delays and unsafe conditions that it brings to road users, but also many aspects of our lives such as the air we all breathe. Construction and traffic management are typical alternatives for...

Efficient Algorithms for Network-Wide Road Traffic Control

Controlling road traffic networks is a complex problem. One of the difficulties is the coordination of actuators, such as traffic lights, variables speed limits, ramp metering and route guidance, with the aim to improve the network performance over a near-future time horizon. This dissertation develops algorithms that specifically balance fast...
