Abstract

The work addresses the decentralized control of traffic on highways. While the first part introduces a controller that treats the state of adjacent highway links as disturbances, this part proposes the estimation of these disturbances as an attempt to improve the performance of the controller. First, sliding mode observers are designed to estimate the state of a two-highway-links plant. Finally, simulations evaluate the performance of the observers under the action of redesigned controllers that benefit from the approximate knowledge of the disturbances.
