Abstract
The paper deals with modeling and design of hybrid control using HYSDEL modeling language and MPT toolbox for MATLAB, respectively. We created optimal structure model using hybrid systems theory and designed predictive control of traffic lights of three interconnected intersections. Considered intersections are in detail described in proposed article. A model has been built describing the evolution of the queue based on number of incoming and outgoing cars and traffic lights. A realistic intersections model has been built and achieving optimal traffic lights control was successfully verified on many model variations.
Advantage of this approach is that it computes with actual lengths of car queues so it is able to adapt to changes in amount of cars coming to intersection as it was shown.
Modelling and simulation obtained results proved that the proposed approach is suitable for real intersections.
