Without your knowledge, support and advice, be it via e-mail, Skype, or in personal conversation, I would not have been able to complete this thesis. Furthermore, my thanks go to my co-supervisor Mehdi Keyvan-Ekbatani from University of Canterbury (New Zealand), who took the time for regular skype meetings and supported me via e-mail. I could absolutely benefit from your knowledge of perimeter control. I also would like to thank Richard de Witt and Franziska Baumgartner from the Departement für Bau, Verkehr und Umwelt (BVU) of Kanton Aargau for the meetings and interesting inputs from a more practical point of view, as well as for providing the access to the traffic management computers. Also, my thanks are extended to Manuel Kalt, who gave me valuable inputs about different kinds of signal control logic. i Perimeter Control in the Swiss City of Baden: Evaluation of Different Scenarios January 2020 Master Thesis, handed in on 27th of January 2020 Perimeter Control in the Swiss City of Baden: Evaluation of Different Scenarios Flurin Weber IVT ETH Zurich Stefano-Franscini-Platz 5, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland Phone: +41 79 684 48 24 E-Mail:
