Abstract

This paper proposes a particle filter (PF) state estimator, using a platoon based model for urban traffic networks. The urban traffic network model consists of signalized intersections (representing queues of vehicles competing for service) connected to each other through links with predefined receiving capacities and stochastic delays. Sensors detect the passage of vehicles at the sensor locations. The algorithm is flexible and robust and can be used in real-time applications such as on-line control of switching times of traffic lights.
