Abstract
This talk will offer a comprehensive perspective on urban traffic management across the vehicle, road link, and network levels. It begins with an overview of new control methods at the vehicle and road link levels, and it will highlight the experimental demonstration of a vehicle platooning system in actual traffic conditions. Next, the presentation will advance to the network level, exploring how population games and evolutionary dynamics can be applied to routing studies. Population games, which model strategy fractions in a population, offer scalability for large numbers of agents. Evolutionary dynamics stem from users learning improved strategies. The discussion will include how these theories integrate with control-theoretic methods to influence network behaviors and outcomes.
