Global Exponential Stabilization of Freeway Models

This work is devoted to the construction of feedback laws which guarantee the robust global exponential stability of the uncongested equilibrium point for general discrete-time freeway models. The feedback construction is based on a control Lyapunov function approach and exploits certain important properties of freeway models. The developed feedback laws are tested in simulation and a detailed comparison is made with existing feedback laws in the literature. The robustness properties of the corresponding closed-loop system with respect to measurement errors are also studied.
