Feedback Control Solutions for Microscopic and Macroscopic Traffic Control
Wed, Mar 26, 2008 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Pushkin Kachroo, Ph.D., P.E.,(Visiting)Assoc. Professor,
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,
University of Nevada, Las VegasAbstract: The talk will present problems in microscopic (vehicle) and macroscopic traffic control. It will give a brief overview of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and how these problems are related to ITS. The mathematical modeling and control methods designed for these problems will be shown. The second half of the talk will present feedback control based pedestrian evacuation under macroscopic control. It will present system of hyperbolic partial differential equations as the model for pedestrian dynamics, present some analysis and control designs in this framework.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - 209
