CODE 90444 ACADEMIC YEAR 2021/2022 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 1 SAFETY ENGINEERING FOR TRANSPORT, LOGISTICS AND PRODUCTION 10377 (LM-26) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/04 LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 2° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The goal of this course is that of developing and applying modeling and optimization tools to solve problems dealing with performance analysis and optimization of traffic networks. Different classes of dynamic models of traffic networks will be presented, based on various assumptions about the architecture for information exchange among the decision makers. Real time control problems are considered and possible control schemes are presented. The application of such schemes is discussed also with respect to the computational requirements and the needs for communication. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The objective of this course is that of providing the student with the conceptual and methodological tools necessary to model vehicle traffic systems and to define and solve control problems for these systems. In particular, at the end of the course, the student will be able to understsnd the nature of the different models that can be adopted and to select the most suitable model for any specific case study. Besides, the student will learn how to define performance optimization and real-time control problems, to be solved by applying specific software tools. TEACHING METHODS Lessons and computer exercises in the classroom. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Macroscopic traffic models for a single link. Models continuous in time and space. Discrete models. Traffic network models. Traffic network control problems. Decentralized control. Second order models (basic concepts). RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY The notes of the course will be made available to the students. They will include several bibliographical references.
