 note = {In this paper, we consider a decentralized control problem for suppressing the traffic jam in a cyclic traffic flow. In recent years, to explain the mechanism that causes the traffic jam, several experiments have been done for multiple vehicles on the circle. The traffic jam can be explained by the so-called optimal velocity model, the optimal velocity function which is a nonlinear function of the headway of the preceding vehicle and describes driver's characteristics. In this paper, we apply washout control to suppress the traffic jam in a cyclic traffic flow not to disturb driver's characteristics. Then, we show a method to select parameters to keep stability of the closed-loop system.We find that our proposed method for selecting parameters is better than the conservative method using the small gain theorem. In addition, we illustrate the effectiveness with several simulations. © 2011 IFAC., 金沢大学融合研究域融合科学系},
