urban traffic control, model, MATLAB

Real-time adaptive control of signalled intersections is a challenging task. In our paper we will present a software framework built in MATLAB programming environment that makes it possible to conduct clean control experiments with a selected urban traffic network model. Our software image consist of four self-contained parts: structure description which is a collection of MATLAB batch files describing a street network, model implementation where state model of an network of signalled intersections is defined, controller implementation that implements the controlling strategy for the network, and parameters description, where parameters for the model and controller are specified. It is possible to have several model and controller implementations and several different network descriptions and setups — users specify the particular structure, model, controller and parameters when starting the simulation.
