DESCRIPTION:Carlos Canudas-de-Wit\, Director of research at the CNRS\, GI
 PSA-Lab\, Grenoble\, France\nIGM Colloquium\n\nAbstract: This lecture is d
 evoted to a large public and concerns traffic control problems in urban ar
 eas. The talk addresses 3 popular topics in intelligent traffic systems. 1
 )  Eco-driving concerns the possibility to suggest optimal speeds to each
  individual drives so that they can catch the green waves and to avoid unn
 ecessary stops at the intersections. Traffic light sequences are known and
  given\; the optimization is then done via optimal path search in graphs. 
 2) Bandwidth optimization consists in devising traffic light sequences max
 imizing the green-wave size. Liner programming is here used to compute the
  light phases and green/red periods. One novelty in this work is the possi
 bility to include variable speed control\, account for energy consumption\
 , and varying traffic demands. 3) Traffic light on-line optimization consi
 sts in\, computing in real-time and according to the road occupancy\, a ne
 w control policy every cycle. This feedback strategy is based on a mathema
 tical model (vehicle conservation)\, and a one-step head optimal control d
 esign\, which can be formulated as a linear program problem. The talk will
  also shows some animated simulations\, using a microscopic simulator. The
  material of this presentation is based on results of the  "COMFORT" proj
 ect (Associate Team between INRIA project-team NeCS and the Berkeley Unive
 rsity project PATH)\, and the resulting publications: see list below.\n\n

 co\, Mexico in 1958. He received his B.Sc. degree in electronics and commu
 nications from the Technological Institute of Monterrey\, Mexico in 1980. 
 In 1984 he received his M.Sc. in the Department of Automatic Control\, Gre
 noble\, France. He was visitor researcher in 1985 at Lund Institute of Tec
 hnology\, Sweden. In 1987 he received his Ph.D. in automatic control from 
 the Polytechnic of Grenoble (Department of Automatic Control)\, France. Si
 nce then he has been working at the same department as "Director of Resear
 ch at the CNRS"\, where He teaches and conducts research in the area of co
 ntrol systems. He is the current leader of the NeCS GIPSA-Lab (CNRS)-INRIA
  team on Networked Controlled Systems. He has established several industri
 al collaboration projects with major French companies (FRAMATOME\, EDF\, C
 EA\, IFREMER\, RENAULT\, SCHNEIDER\, ILL\, IFP\, ALSTOM). He has been asso
 ciate editor of the IEEE-Transaction on Automatic Control\, from 1992 to 1
 997\, AUTOMATICA\, from 1999 to 2002. He is currently Associated Editor of
 : the Asian Journal of Control (since 2010)\, IEEE Transaction on Control 
 System Technology (2013-16)\, and the IEEE Transaction on Control of Syste
 m Networks (since 2013). He holds the presidency of the European Control A
 ssociation (EUCA) for the period 2013-15\, and served at the IEEE Board of
  Governors of the Control System Society 2011-2014. He is IEEE Fellows fro
 m the Control Systems Society and IFAC Fellow. He holds the ERD-AdG Free-S
 caleBack from 2016-2021.  \n
