2 Analysis of Cybernetics

• Analysis of Basic Concept
• of Cybernetics and System Control
• 2-1 Multi-criteria
• 2-2 Feedback and Feed-forward
• 2-3 Multilevel Control

2-1 Multi Criteria

• Concept of System
• The assemblage of elements comprising a whole
  with each element related to other element with
  parameters.
• System has a goal and a criterion.
• Adjust parameters so that the system may approach
  goal.
• The combined system of human and machines can not
  usually be treated by the conventional system
  theory.

• Concept of Cybernetics
• The study of communication and control for
  complex systems with human and machines.
• The goal is complex generally.
• Usually multi criteria with
• Different dimension are necessary.
• The selection of criterion must be done
  depending on the strategic mission of the system.

3 Intelligent Transport System

• 1) ITS started with traffic signal control
• 1-1) to avoid traffic accidents for safety
• 1-2) to maximize traffic flow for economy.
• 1-3) The most sophisticated system example will
  be the Metropolitan Tokyo Vehicular Traffic
  Control System using computers and optical
  fibers.
• 2) Static and Dynamic Car Navigation Systems
  were Introduced for 23 and 12 million cars
  respectively.
• 3) Electronic Toll Collection Systems have been
  introduced for 12 million cars.

3-1 Metropolitan Tokyo System

• Present Metropolitan Tokyo Traffic Control
• Multi Criteria for Total Control
• 1) Light Traffic Minimum Stop
• 2) Medium Traffic Maximum Volume
• 3) Heavy Traffic Minimum Confusion
• 4 level Control Fail Safe using 130 Central
  Computers and 15,000 Intersection Controllers
  with several microcomputers each.
• On line Simulation using Network Topology
• Man Machine Interaction using 3 very Large
  Scale Displays and 20 Large Scale Displays
• Information supply for the Car Navigation
  Systems
