Abstract

This paper provides a way of hierarchically distributed control for large-scale urban road traffic networks based on the concept of Glocal (Global/Local) Control. The proposed system consists of demand distribution control by dynamic route guidance (global) and traffic signal control (local), and they are collaborated each other through so called glocal adaptor to achieve increase of traffic volume (global objective) and jam alleviation (local objective). After explaining the structure of the glocal adaptor, we provide model predictive control-based algorithms for demand distribution control and distributed traffic signal control, which are completely independent. The effectiveness of the method is verified by numerical experiments.
