Control Design for Traffic Junctions – Controlling the Traffic Lights at Heimplatz

Thomas Riedel

The report describes the details of the implementation of a dynamic control on the Heimplatz in Zurich. It mainly shows more measured data and depicts the programs developed a bit more in detail than it is done by the dissertation (Diss. ETH 10349; Regelung in Verkehrssystemen - Control in Traffic Systems).

Report no 93-04 of the Automatic Control Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich, Switzerland
