ROUTING OF FREEWAY TRAFFIC A DISCRETE-TIME STATE SPACE MODEL AND ROUTING PROBLEMS

This paper is an attempt to formulate an approach to routing of freeway traffic flow. A state space model is proposed for traffic flow in a freeway network. The model consists of a control system in which the state variables are densities and average speeds in freeway sections. The routing problem is to synthesize a routing law that specifies the directions such that the travel cost of network users is minimized. Approaches to solve the routing problem by control theory are discussed.
