Objective Technology achievements were typically built upon fundamental theoretical findings, but nowadays technology seems to beevolving faster than our ability to develop new concepts and theories. Intelligent traffic systems benefit from many technicalinnovations, for example. Mobile phones, radars, cameras and magnetometers can be used to measure traffic evolutionand provide large sets of valuable data. Vehicles can communicate with the network infrastructure, as well as each other.However, these huge technological advances have not been used to the full so far. Traffic lights are far from functioningoptimally and traffic management systems do not always prevent the occurrence of congestions.So what is missing? Such systems affect our daily life; why aren’t them on pace with technology advances? Possiblebecause they have become far more complex than the analytical tools available for managing them. Systems have manycomponents, communicate with each other, have self-decision-making mechanisms, share an enormous amount ofinformation, and form networks. Research in control systems has challenged some of these features, but not in a veryconcerted way. There is a lack of “glue” relating the solutions to each other.In the Scale-FreeBack project, it is proposed to approach this problem with a new holistic vision. Scale-FreeBack will firstinvestigate appropriate scale-free dynamic modeling approaches breaking down system’s complexity, and then developcontrol and observation algorithms which are specifically tailored for such models. Scale-FreeBack will also investigate newresilient issues in control which are urgently required because of the increasing connectivity between systems and theexternal world. Road traffic networks will be used in proof-of-concept studies based on field tests performed at ourGrenoble Traffic Lab (GTL) and in a large-scale microscopic simulator.
