Feedback-Based Ramp Metering and Lane-Changing Control With Connected and Automated Vehicles

Aiming at operating effectively future traffic systems, we propose here a novel methodology for integrated lane-changing and ramp metering control that exploits the presence of connected vehicles. In particular, assume percentage vehicles can receive implement specific tasks (e.g., commands), while is available via an infrastructure-based system or enabled by The proposed approach designed to robustly maximise throughput motorway bottlenecks employing feedback controller, formulated as Linear Quadratic Integral regulator, which based on simplified linear time invariant flow model. We also present extremum seeking algorithm compute optimal set-points used in only measurement cost representative achieved conditions. method evaluated simulation experiments, performed first-order, multi-lane, macroscopic model, featuring capacity drop phenomenon, allows demonstrate effectiveness developed highlight improvement terms generated congestion.
