SPECIAL SESSION on
"PETRI NET-BASED APPLICATIONS IN ITS"
for
the 9th International IEEE Conference on Intelligent Transportation
Systems (IEEE ITSC 2006)
September 17-20, 2006, Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre,
Toronto, Canada
http://www.ewh.ieee.org/tc/its/itsc2006/
SESSION OVERVIEW:
In the last decades, Intelligent Transportation Systems received a
growing interest and became an increasingly promising research
subject. The complexity of these systems and of their dynamic
behaviour requires investigation on simulation models, effective and
appropriate control strategies, as well as scheduling procedures.
Moreover, different powerful modelling tools exist to state and solve
ITS-related problems and to transfer theoretical results to practical
applications. On the other hand, Petri nets and its related
extensions (such as timed PNs, coloured PNs, hybrid PNs, etc.) have
been extensively adopted in the past to model discrete-event systems
such as manufacturing systems and communication networks. In this
connection, they have been proven to be a valuable and powerful tool
for design, analysis, and control, since their ability in capturing
the precedence relations and interactions among the concurrent and
asynchronous events typical of such systems. In the last decade, the
Petri net formalism has been also applied to the modelling and
control of traffic and transportation systems.
The aim of the special session is to gather a large community of
researchers interested in the application of the Petri net
formalisms, and its related extensions, to the modelling,
optimization and control of ITS, and to outline new trends and
problems in this area including practical applications.
