Abstract:Rule-based relay controllers are common in single-lane urban traffic control systems and introduce significant nonlinearity. In this paper, we analyze the closed-loop stability for a traffic process with a relay controller and negative feedback, with respect to several time delays present in the plant. First, we derive models for the road segment and the controller. Second, we investigate the system stability based on describing the function analysis. Finally, we present the numerical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
