A mathematical model and control problems of traffic flows in urban road networks

A study is focused on formulation of traffic flow control problems in the urban roads network. The problems of parametric identification, optimal control, and control synthesis are considered. Initially, the problem of obtaining a mathematical model of traffic flows as a control object is described. To obtain a model, it is proposed to use an approach based on the controlled networks theory. Evolutionary algorithms are used to solve the considered control problems. © 2019 IEEE.
