Abstract

A deterministic, macroscopic modelling framework for dynamic traffic phenomena on networks consisting of freeways and urban streets is presented for nonelastic but time-varying traffic demands. A feedback methodology is applied to the network model to establish dynamic traffic assignment conditions. Specifically, a multivariable feedback regulator with integral parts and a simple bang-bang controller are developed and tested for a particular network traffic model. Because of three fundamental features (low computational effort, low sensitivity with respect to unknown demands and compliance rates, and integrated design procedure), the feedback concept appears attractive for a broad class of traffic control problems including route guidance systems. This paper appears in Transportation Research Record No. 1306, In-vehicle Information Systems: modelling Traffic Networks and behavioural Considerations 1991.
