Continuous and Discrete-Time Optimal Controls for an Isolated Signalized Intersection

A classical control problem for an isolated oversaturated intersection is revisited with a focus on the optimal control policy to minimize total delay. The difference and connection between existing continuous-time planning models and recently proposed discrete-time planning models are studied. A gr...
