Two-layer adaptive signal control framework for large-scale networks combining efficient Max-Pressure and Perimeter Control

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Dimitrios Tsitsokas, Anastasios Kouvelas

This work investigates the benefits of a two-layer adaptive signal control framework combining multi-region perimeter control (PC) with distributed Max Pressure (MP) control in selected network intersections. Motivated by MP’s questionable performance in o ...
