Abstract

An estimation approach that allows recovering of the traffic state is proposed in this paper. The method used is based on numerical differentiation, which does not need any integration of differential equations and turns out to be quite robust with respect to perturbations and measurements noises. Numerical simulations, carried-out by using the so-called Cell Transmission Model (CTM) demonstrate the relevance of the proposed on-line estimation scheme.
