Abstract :
Describes a distributed algorithm for coordinating the flow of a mass of vehicles approaching a highway exit or a tollbooth. We provide the problem formulation, a general methodology for distributed control and an instantiation of this methodology to the coordinated flow problem. We analyze our algorithm and provide experimental data
