Abstract
En 中文
When dealing with traffic big data under the background of Internet of Things (IoT), traffic control under the single-machine computing environment is difficult to adapt to the massive and rapid analysis and decision-making. To tackle this problem, we propose a parallel computing approach of traffic network flow control based on the mechanism of model predictive control (MPC). A non-analytical rule-based traffic flow model is developed to forecast vehicle movements in the prediction horizon according to the real-time feedback information of traffic flow, and evaluate the performances of candidate control strategies. Furthermore, to accelerate the solution process of obtaining the optimal control schemes in the prediction horizon, a two-level hierarchical parallel genetic algorithm (HPGA) based on Spark cloud computing is designed. Through the parallel computing architecture, the computationally intensive optimization tasks are decomposed into multiple parallel sub-tasks with the aid of resilient distributed datasets (RDDs), which improves the computational efficiency. The simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed methodology for traffic network flow predictive control with respect to unsaturated and oversaturated traffic scenarios. The Spark-based parallel optimization approach has the potential to satisfy the computing requirements of online optimization when dealing with the big data of traffic network flow control while keeps favorable control performances.
