The SITS is based on a microscopic simulation approach to reproduce real traffic conditions in an urban or non-urban network and considers different type of vehicles, drivers and roads. A dynamical analysis of several traffic phenomena is then addressed. The results of using classical system theory tools point out that it is possible to study traffic systems, taking advantage on the knowledge gathered with automatic control algorithms. In this line of thought, it was also presented a new modelling formalism based on the embedding of statistics and Fourier transform.engIntelligent transportation systemsSimulation and modellingTraffic controlTraffic dynamicsOn the dynamics analysis of freeway trafficconference object10.1109/ITSC.2003.1251977
