DESIGN OF AN AUTOMOBILE CONTROLLER FOR OPTIMUM TRAFFIC RESPONSE TO STOCHASTIC DISTURBANCES

THIS PAPER IS CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECTS OF RANDOM DISTURBANCES UPON A QUEUE OF AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED VEHICLES AND THE DESIGN OF THE LINEAR MODE SO AS TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE OF THE QUEUE DYNAMICS. AN OPTIMUM LINEAR CONTROLLER FOR INDIVIDUAL VEHICLES IS DETERMINED ANALYTICALLY, WHICH MINIMIZES HEADWAY DISTURBANCE AND LIMITS THE MEAN SQUARED VALUES OF VELOCITY DISTURBANCES IN THE QUEUE. /BPR/
