An optimal control problem of traffic flow on a junction
We investigate how to control optimally a traffic flow through a junction on the line by acting only on speed reduction or traffic light at the junction. We show the existence of an optimal control and, under structure assumptions, provide optimality conditions. We use this analysis to investigate thoroughly the maximization of the flux on a space-time subset and show the existence of an optimal control which is bang-bang.
