In this presentation we will give an overview of the work of done at the Delft Center for Systems and Control in the field of traffic management and control. We will in particular focus on how model-based predictive control (MPC) can be used to obtain a balanced trade-off between reduction of total time spent, emissions, and fuel consumption. To this aim we will discuss the macroscopic models we have been developing for fuel consumption, emissions, and dispersion of emissions as well as the details of MPC for traffic. We will also discuss efficient implementation through the use of parametrized control laws. Finally, we present a multi-level control traffic management strategy based on MPC with a focus on the area controllers in large-scale urban traffic networks, where we use the macrosopic fundamental diagram developed by Geroliminis and Daganzo in combination with mixed integer linear programming to obtain a tractable control approach.
Bio: Bart De Schutter is full professor at the Delft Center for Systems and Control of Delft University of Technology in Delft, The Netherlands. He received the PhD degree in Applied Sciences (summa cum laude with congratulations of the examination jury) in 1996 at K.U.Leuven, Belgium. Next, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the SISTA group of K.U.Leuven, until he moved to Delft University of Technology in 1998 as assistant professor. In 2000 he became associate professor and in 2006 full professor in the field of hybrid control and intelligent transportation systems. He is associate editor of Automatica and of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. His current research interests include control of intelligent transportation and infrastructure networks, hybrid systems control, discrete-event systems, multi-agent systems, and optimization.
