Abstract

This work has applied the concepts of energy and density of movement to tackle intelligent traffic systems. Both concepts can be used not only as a tool to model and simulate the urban traffic network but also to improve the vehicles flux control normally found in urban regions. The most important contribution of this paper is the modeling methodology, which uses density of movement as state variable to decrease the analysis’ structure complexity and to improve the use of optimal traffic control of area as a consequence. The real data basis and the simulations method of BHTrans - Belo Horizonte/MG were used to compare the new proposal to the traditional one in order to confirm the benefits of using energy and density of movement as a methodology to process intelligent urban traffic systems.
