Traffic Flow Control In Automated Highway Systems

  • Alvarez, Luis
  • Horowitz, Roberto

Abstract

This report studies the problem of traffic control in the Automated Highway System (AHS) hierarchical architecture of the California PATH program. A link layer controller for the PATH AHS architecture is presented. It is shown that the proposed control laws stabilize the vehicular density and flow around predetermined profiles.
