Abstract
In order to control urban traffic with model-based control methods, a proper
traffic model is very important. This traffic control model needs to have
enough descriptive power to reproduce relevant traffic phenomena, and it also
has to be fast enough to be used in practice. Therefore, macroscopic urban
traffic flow models are usually applied as control models. These models are
normally sampled temporally and spatially into discrete models so as to be
simulated using digital computers. In this paper, a spatiotemporally discrete
urban traffic model with a variable sampling time interval is proposed for
model-based predictive control, which allows to balance modeling accuracy and
computational complexity. The model is analyzed and evaluated based on the
model requirements for control purposes. In addition, conditions are given to
selecting suitable sampling time intervals for the models that are used to
control urban traffic networks.
