Layer Control

The modeling and design of a link-layer control algorithm for automated highway systems are presented in this paper. Link-layer control systems address the coordination of traffic on a stretch of highway, and serve as the intermediate layer between traffic management (ATMS) and vehicle control (AVCS) systems. The key role of the link layer control system is to use macroscopic traffic information for improved traffic flow. A distributed control algorithm is developed based on optimal control theory. The proposed control law is implemented in a simulation program which keeps track of the motions of each individual vehicles on the highway. Simulation results under three perturbed conditions—uneven traffic distribution, broken vehicle, and traffic merging—are presented.

The 1960S

With the rise of privatized automobility and the increase of traffic jams, new sociotechnical systems have emerged that aim at traffic control. Radio traffic information has been a key element in these systems. Through a qualitative analysis of historical radio broadcasts of the largest Dutch news station between 1960 and 2000, this article explores the changing format and content of traffic information updates. I will show how the rather formal, detailed, and paternalistic narratives of the traffic reports in the 1960s gave way to more informal, witty, yet flow-controlling traffic information discourse in later decades. I will explain the dynamics involved by drawing on mobility and media studies and by developing two distinct notions of flow, one of which builds conceptually on Raymond Williams’s work on mobile privatization, the other is grounded in the field of traffic management. In so doing, this article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the role of public radio broadcasts in our world of privatized automobility.
