Abstract:
This paper introduces a method of mathematical modeling of high scale road traffic networks. The elaborated model is in state space form where the states are vehicle densities on a particular lane and the dynamics is described by a non linear state constrained positive system. This model can be used directly for simulation and analysis and as a starting point for investigating various control strategies. Stability of the traffic over the network can be analyzed by construction linear Lyapunov function and the associated theory.
