Mobility and transportation are two of the leading indicators of economicgrowth of a society. Traffic congestion has a significant impact on our dailylives as it directly affects the productivity, health and environment, which callfor drastic and radical solutions. Control of traffic congestion has attracted alot of research attention during the past few decades. Conventional trafficmanagement faces limitations but the introduction of Intelligent TransportationSystems (ITS) technologies and new sensing hardware promise significantprogress in reducing the congestion level in cities. Nevertheless, modelingand control of heterogeneous cities with multiple attractions/regions ofcongestion remain a big challenge, due to the high unpredictability of choicesof travellers, the uncertainty in their reactions to the control, and thespatiotemporal propagation of congestion. In this talk, we macroscopicallydescribe the traffic dynamics in heterogeneous cities with multi-sensor data.We present results on two modelling variations for unimodal (car only) andbimodal (car and bus) cities that can be integrated in advanced trafficmanagement schemes for zone or perimeter control. The heterogeneousnetwork of Downtown San Francisco is used to test the proposed models andcontrol schemes. Our research seeks to shed some light in the realisticmodelling and efficient control of traffic flow for overcrowded heterogeneousnetworks.
