Fault Tolerant Traffic Control System Based on Multiobjective Optimization

The mathematical model is a simplified representation of certain phenomena, which takes into account only the essential features. Nowadays, congested road infrastructures are becoming a growing problem, especially in larger urban centres. This problem can be somewhat reduced by using advanced control algorithms. This article attempts to control the traffic flow on a macroscopic scale. For this purpose, a discrete, nonlinear mathematical model was adopted. Using the MATLAB programming environment, a control system for a small communication network was developed and optimised. Then, assuming a sample scenario, simulation studies were conducted for this network.
