Abstract
The two main directions to improve traffic flows in networks involve changing
the network topology and introducing new traffic control measures. In this
paper, we consider a co-design approach to apply these two methods jointly to
improve the interaction between different methods and to get a better overall
performance. We aim at finding the optimal network topology and the optimal
parameters of traffic control laws at the same time by solving a
co-optimization problem. However, such an optimization problem is usually
highly non-linear and non-convex, and it possibly involves a mixed-integer
form. Therefore, we discuss four different solution frameworks that can be used
for solving the co-optimization problem, according to different requirements on
the computational complexity and speed. A simulation-based study is implemented
on the Singapore freeway network to illustrate the co-design approach and to
compare the four different solution frameworks.
