Abstract：

The research is motivated by control of the motorway network of The Netherlands. Six traffic control centers receive online data about the traffic flow and activate the control measures of routing control, dynamic speed limits, and ramp-metering. There is first a need for an algorithm to predict the traffic flow in a large-scale network for a period of 30 to 60 minutes into the future. Control synthesis of a multilevel control system requires the development of an appropriate procedure.
