Simulation investigations of the traffic-responsive urban control strategy TUC

The paper presents the basic characteristics of TUC, a recently developed traffic-responsive urban control strategy. Based on a store-and-forward type of modelling and using well-known methods of the automatic control theory, the approach followed by TUC designs (off-line) and employs (online) a multivariable regulator for traffic-responsive coordinated network-wide signal control. Simulation investigations demonstrate the strategy´s high efficiency. Summarised conclusions are presented, and future work is outlined
