Guberinic S. Optimal Traffic Control: Urban Intersections

CRC Press, 2007. — 352 p. — ISBN10: 1420062689; ISBN13: 9781420062687.Despite traffic circles, four-way stop signs, lights regulated by timers or sensors, and other methods, the management of urban intersections remains problematic. Consider that transportation systems have all the features of so-called complex systems: the great number of state and control variables, the presence of uncertainty and indeterminism, the complex interactions between subsystems, the necessity to optimize several optimization criteria, and active behavior of the controlled process, to name just a few. Therefore, a mathematical approach to these systems can resolve their complex issues more elegantly than other methods.Mathematical model of traffic process on a signalized intersection
