Holonic Models for Traffic Control Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5696))

Abstract

This paper proposes a new time-placed net model for traffic control systems, respectively railway control traffic systems. This model can be interpreted as a holonic one, and contains three modules: Transport Planning Module, Transport Control Module and Priority Control Module. For railway traffic systems we introduce a strategy in a timed-place Petri net model to solve collision and traffic jam problems.
