Anticipative ramp metering control for freeway traffic networks
We develop an anticipative model-based predictive traffic control approach for ramp metering in freeway traffic networks. If ramp metering is implemented in a freeway network with alternative routes, traffic can spontaneously re-route due to the response of the drivers to the applied control actions. Although spontaneous re-routing can have a significant influence on the resulting traffic situa...
متن کاملRamp Metering and Freeway Bottleneck Capacity
This study aims to determine whether ramp meters increase the capacity of active freeway bottlenecks. The traffic flow characteristics at twenty-seven active bottlenecks in the Twin Cities have been studied for seven weeks without ramp metering and seven weeks with ramp metering. A methodology for systematically identifying active freeway bottlenecks in a metropolitan area is proposed, which re...
متن کاملFreeway congestion, ramp metering, and tolls
California freeway travelers suffer large and variable congestion delay. The delay is due to operational inefficiency, excess demand, and unforseen events. Operational inefficiency reduces speed and may cause queue spillovers that reduce exiting flows. Excess demand creates delay on ramps. Unforseen events such as accidents temporarily reduce capacity. The Cell Transmission Model of a freeway w...
متن کاملAnticipative model predictive control for ramp metering in freeway networks
When implementing ramp metering in the context of freeway networks, traffic can spontaneously re-route due to the applied control actions. Although this re-routing can have an important impact on the resulting traffic situation in the traffic network and on the performance of the traffic network as a whole, re-routing is not automatically included in current model predictive frameworks for free...
متن کاملNon-Local Feedback Ramp Metering Controller Design
This paper treats the problem of controlling large freeway systems through ramp metering to enhance their efficiency. Following a rigorous discretization methodology, an extension of the CTM model to inhomogeneous freeways with on and off ramps is proposed. Based on passivity theory and the piecewise affine formulation of this model, an LMI formulation is developed to design non-local feedback ...
