INTEGRATED OPTIMAL FLOW-CONTROL IN TRAFFIC NETWORKS

An optimal control algorithm for solving dynamic, nonlinear, discrete time, linearly constrained optimization problems based on feasible dir ection search and the reduced gradient is applied to integrated optima l flow control in single destination traffic networks with time-varyin g demand flows. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the fe asibility of the approach. The results of this work, especially concer ning required computation time and demand flows assumptions, are relev ant for real-time implementation of the algorithm.
