Abstract: 
The aim of this project is to create, verify and hand over to the industrial partner a prototype of a small urban traffic control system with an open interface. The control system is inspired by an existing macroscopic state-space model of an urban transportation network, that has been tested in real traffic conditions in winter 2010. The core of the proposed system is a new mesoscopic model which allows for inclusion and processing of wider scale of traffic characteristics, telematic sensors and control parameters. This will facilitate a better estimation of the traffic state and a faster and more appropriate reaction to exceptional traffic states (e.g. traffic incidents). The resulting control system will integrate optimalisation of all three fundamental traffic control variables: phase split, signal plan offset, and cycle time.
