RHODES PROJECT, PHASE II (A)

This report documents the work performed on the RHODES Project Phase II(a) which is a continuation of the RHODES Project Phase I. Phase I explored concepts for models and algorithms for real-time traffic- adaptive control systems for street networks. Phase II(a) focused on further development of some of these algorithms and on performing some preliminary laboratory experiments with these algorithms using simulation models. The control architecture of RHODES is based on a hierarchical decomposition of the overall traffic control problem with three levels in the control hierarchy: network load control network flow control, and intersection control. RHODES architecture allows for a modular implementation of many of the subsystems within the control structure and the incorporation of IVHS technologies.
