ARCHITECTURE FOR DISTRIBUTED TRAFFIC CONTROL

摘要

This paper describes an approach for deploying Road Traffic Control (RTC) measures in an automatic and integrated manner. In the Netherlands, the common approach for deploying RTC measures has several important drawbacks due to its top-down nature. The approach we are now developing is intended as a complement to this top-down approach and has a distributed and bottom-up nature. It doesn't have the problems of a top-down approach and is, due to its low-level working, better able to automatically and more optimally deploy RTC measures. Also it is more responsive to the actual traffic state. Two case-studies illustrate the approach that we call: the Architecture for Distributed Traffic Control.
