Abstract
In this paper, a model predictive control approach for improving the
efficiency of bicycling as part of intermodal transportation systems is
proposed. Considering a dedicated bicycle lanes infrastructure, the focus in
this paper is to optimize the dynamic interaction between bicycles and vehicles
at the multimodal urban traffic intersections. In the proposed approach, a
dynamic model for the flows, queues, and number of both vehicles and bicycles
is explicitly incorporated in the controller. For obtaining a good trade-off
between the total time spent by the cyclists and by the drivers, a Pareto
analysis is proposed to adjust the objective function of the MPC controller.
Simulation results for a two-intersections urban traffic network are presented
and the controller is analyzed considering different methods of including in
the MPC controller the inflow demands of both vehicles and bicycles.
