Colloquium – Maria Laura delle Monache (Inria Grenoble – Rhône Alpes)

April 24, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Topic:  Control of traffic flow: from ramp metering to autonomous vehicles

Abstract:

In this talk, we will consider different control frameworks for traffic flow. In particular, we will show the evolution of traffic control from classical strategies (for example ramp-metering) to more modern approaches using autonomous vehicles. We will introduce different ways to describe mathematically the phenomenon by using scalar conservation laws and coupled PDE-ODE models, modeling traffic dynamics with a macroscopic approach and presenting different control techniques that could be useful in several real situations. We will show theoretical, numerical and experimental results.
