FLOATING TRAFFIC CONTROL FOR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

This paper proposes "Floating Traffic Control", which is a dynamic scheduling with no fixed time table, for a public transportation system with high density traffic. Traffic models and evaluation functions are formulated for the control. Applying Linear Regulator Theory, the optimal control for the model is derived. Dynamics of the model and characteristics of the control have been investigated with several examples. To apply this method to actual traffic system, sensitivity analysis to system disturbance and simplification of calculating logic have been investigated.
