Abstract
Road traffic networks are large-scale systems that demand distributed control
strategies. Distributed model predictive control (DMPC) arises as a feasible
alternative for traffic control. Distributed strategies decompose the whole
traffic network into different subnetworks with local optimal controllers that
make decisions on actions to be taken by the actuators responsible for traffic
control (traffic lights, routing signals, variable speed limits, among others).
However, subnetworks are interacting elements of the whole traffic network.
Hence, local control decisions made for one sub-network affect and are
influenced by the decisions taken for the other subnetworks. Under these
circumstances, the DMPC traffic problem can be treated as a game where the
rules are provided by the physical system, the players are the local optimal
controllers, their strategies are the control sequences, and the payoffs are
the local performance indices (such as the total time spent by the users in the
network). This configuration allows the achievement of a computational burden
reduction, with a compromise between local and global performance. Since DMPC
local controllers are able to communicate with each other, the control of the
traffic network corresponds to a cooperative game. In this chapter,
game-theory-based DMPC is developed and tested for control of urban and
motorway networks.
