Presented at the
International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control
Control of traffic in a network of roads may involve a large
number of individual control loops, with various scopes and time scales,
some of them working locally, such as traffic signals at a crossing,
some of them coordinating a number of local control loops within its
scope. In order to organize such a set of control loops, this paper
proposes a hierarchical network model which is primarily based on a
modularity property of networks. One of the prime applications of this
hierarchical model is to derive an implementation architecture for the
development of operational control systems, in order to achieve highly
flexible control systems and thereby support the research in road
traffic network control. The primary goal of this paper is to list the
research issues in this approach.
