Freeway traffic density control using iterative learning control approach

In this paper, an iterative learning control scheme is developed to the traffic density control in a macroscopic level freeway environment. With rigorous analysis, the proposed intelligent control scheme guarantees the asymptotic convergence of the traffic density to the desired one. The control scheme is applied to a freeway model, and simulation results confirm the efficacy of the proposed approach.
