— This paper presents a model for large urban traffic networks, based on the well-known macroscopic Cell Transmission Model. We start by describing the dynamics of traffic flow at signalized intersections. Then we develop an average-based approximation of such a system, that we use to build our control algorithm as a linear optimization problem. Simulation results validate the averaged approach and show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
