In this paper, we develop a distributed control method for an urban traffic network in order to improve traffic conditions and guarantee a smooth operation for all roads and intersections. An optimal coordination among traffic flows is determined by a model predictive control idea. The control objective is formulated as a constrained optimization problem in which the cost function to be minimized is a combination of some traffic network-related performance indexes and the constraints are derived from capacities of roads and intersections. The green time assigned to each road link is computed from its optimal downstream traffic flow. In the proposed algorithms, every road link uses only its local information to determine its control decision which corresponds to a global optimal solution. The algorithms are developed by using a gradient projection-based method and properties of the minimal polynomial of a matrix pair. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is validated via numerical simulations with MATLAB and VISSIM.
