Abstract
We develop a macroscopic model for mixed urban and freeway traffic networks
that is particularly suited for control purposes. In particular, we use an
extended version of the METANET traffic flow model to describe the evolution of
the traffic flows in the freeway part of the network. For the urban network we
propose a new model that is based on the Kashani model. Furthermore, we also
describe the interface between the urban and the freeway model. This results in
an integrated model for mixed freeway and urban traffic networks. This model is
especially suited for use in a model predictive traffic control approach.
