This can result in local improvements but decreasing network performances. To optimize the network performances by the implementation of DTM measures, an optimization method is required. Model predictive control (MLP) is a network-wide and dynamic optimization method, but has the disadvantage of high computation complexity what makes the method less suitable for real time control of large networks. In this research a control method is developed which reduces the computation complexity, by transforming the control problem in a mixed integer lineair programming (MILP) problem. The control problem is based on a piecewise affine network model, which represents the traffic network, and is rewritten to a mixed logical dynamical (MLD) model. This model contains only lineair equations and gives a less complex control problem, which can result in lower computation times.
