Research theme: Traffic and transportation control

The traffic and transportation research of DCSC focusses on the control of large-scale transportation system with a main emphasis on freeway and road traffic networks. In addition, we also consider control of railway networks. The primary control strategy is model predictive control. Furthermore, we also consider distributed control of large-scale traffic networks using a distributed and/or hierarchical multi-agent control approach.

• Advanced control techniques for optimal adaptive traffic control
• Optimal traffic control
• Optimal transfer coordination for railway systems
• Development of advanced multi-agent control strategies for multi-class traffic networks
• Validation methodology for fault-tolerant advanced driver assistance systems
