On the stability of traffic perimeter control in two-region urban cities

J Haddad, N Geroliminis - Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 2012 - Elsevier
In this paper, stability analysis of traffic control for two-region urban cities is treated. It is
known in control theory that optimality does not imply stability. If the optimal control is …

The effect of signal settings on the macroscopic fundamental diagram and its applicability in traffic signal driven perimeter control strategies

D de Jong, VL Knoop… - 16th International IEEE …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
It has been proposed that a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) can be used as input
for perimeter control strategies. We consider a network consisting of a perimeter with traffic …
