Method of logical network operator for urban traffic control synthesis problems
Abstract
The problem of maximal capacity of traffic at the rush hours is considered. The control is performed by adjusting the traffic lights phases at intersections. The mathematical model of traffic flow is given. The model is described by the oriented graph with changeable configuration. The optimal control problem for traffic flows is formulated as a problem of discrete dynamic optimization. To solve the problem the genetic algorithm and the method of logical network operator are used.
