Traffic control and management-recent methodological advances

摘要

In October 2010, a special issue on "Recent Advances in Traffic Control and Management" was published in the Journal of Advanced Transportation [1]. In past years, great strides have been made continuously in traffic control and management for alleviation of traffic congestion in urban areas [2-5]. New approaches have been developed to augment and improve existing ones, or to seek new modeling paradigms for mixed traffic or heterogeneous vehicles in urban areas [6,7]. It is timely to take inventory of what we have developed in recent years and provide a preview of what lies ahead for further research on this important topic.
