An attempt to formulate an approach to routing of freeway traffic flow is presented. A state space model for traffic flow in a freeway network is proposed. The model consists of a control system in which the state variables are densities and average speeds in freeway sections. The routing problem is to synthesize a routing law that specifies the directions such that the travel cost of network users is minimized. Approaches to solve the routing problem by control theory are discussed.
