Modeling and Analysis of Connected Traffic Intersections Based on Modified Binary Petri Nets

The authors propose an approach for the modeling and analysis of two connected traffic intersections based on Petri nets (PNs). They first use a PN to model an isolated four-way signalized intersection; then we extend it to model two successive signalized intersections. The authors find that this model has unbounded places, which in turn results in some confliction problems. Hence, they introduce the concept of modified binary petri nets (MBPNs) to overcome the limitation and resolve the confliction problem when they design our model and its controller. This MBPN model is a powerful tool and can be useful for the modeling and analysis of many other traffic applications.
