Abstract—This paper focuses on the use of Hybrid Petri Nets (HPNs) to model and control the traffic of an isolated intersection of four phases. It captures important aspects of the flow dynamics in urban networks. In this paper, we show how this model can be used to describe the traffic functioning and to obtain control strategies that improve the traffic flow at intersections. The proposed approach can be generalized to control several connected intersections in a distributed way.
