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.
