Abstract

This report is the literature review on demographic changes and transport of Work Package 1 of the EU project CONSOL, "CONcerns and SOLutions - Road Safety in the Ageing Societies" (contract period: 2011-2013).

The report is a state-of-the art report that combines current knowledge with new findings from relevant fields of basic research, focusing on the increasingly heterogeneous nature of the ageing population.

All CONSOL partners contributed to the report by writing parts of the report (authors), participating in the literature research and/or commenting to earlier versions of this report.

We would like to give special thanks to Heather Ward for constructive suggestions and inspiring comments to an earlier version of this report. Document type: Part of book or chapter of book

Abstract

International audience; We consider an urban network with two traffic modes. We control the traffic lights in order to free the roads used by the public transport vehicles. To do this, we solve a flow assignement problem, from which we deduce an ideal distribution of private vehicles. Then using traffic lights, we design a regulator maintaining the car distributions in the roads around the ideal trajectory. This regulator is obtained by solving a linear quadratic problem. The result is a global feedback on the car numbers in the roads. We show the robustness of the obtained control. We compare the obtained results with those given by Bhouri and Lotito (2005).
