Model predictive control for an urban trimodal model

This paper proposes a trimodal model of urban traffic for controlling the traffic policy. A model predictive control is then designed. The model focuses on the general traffic (private vehicle and bus) mode and BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) mode. An innovative model is presented for both the BRT mode, the private vehicles mode (VP) and for the Buses mode. The model is essentially based on the TUC (Traffic-responsive Urban Control) strategy. Based on this model, a predictive control is presented by minimising a cost function in order to control the urban traffic. The effectiveness strategy is illustrated by simulation results.
