Abstract

Abstract This paper studies the traffic congestion control of a traffic network from the system-theoretic viewpoint. The feedback control of the traffic congestion length is considered at each signalized intersection in a traffic network. Then we propose two systematic control algorithms for traffic congestion length control in a traffic network consisting of a rectangular grid of intersecting streets ; one is a “priority control algorithm”, the other is a “balance control algorithm”. The control algorithms are simulated using data abtained in Fukuyama city, Japan. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the priority and balance control algorithms work well to reduce both the traffic congestion lengths and the contimuative time of traffic network.
