Abstract

The paper presents the capabilities of Matlab/Simulink environment, namely the toolboxes Stateflow and SimEvents, of modelling the event- and agent-based systems in the shape of a symmetrical intersection at a micro-scale level. This simple but complex system deals with a random occurrence of the agents (the traffic participants), their own behaviour patterns, given road traffic regulations and a discretization of the intersection space model. The goal consists in proposing of a control algorithm, simulating of its function at a given model abstraction, and finally, generating a programming code for a PLC. With this kind of an approach, it is possible to work within one development environment with the systems which are impossible to be solved analytically and whose real testing is time and effort consuming.
