Optimal Ramp Metering Strategy with Extended Lwr Model, Analysis and Computational Methods
This paper treats the problem of optimizing a coordinated ramp metering strategy based on a distributed macroscopic traffic model. The Lighthill, Whitham and Richards (LWR) model is extended to include on/off-ramps with on-ramp flow saturations and an optimal control formulation is proposed. Using optimization techniques in Banach spaces, a solution is shown to exist and the necessary optimalit...
متن کاملOptimal freeway ramp metering using the asymmetric cell transmission model
The onramp metering control problem is posed using a cell transmission-like model called the asymmetric cell transmission model (ACTM). The problem formulation captures both freeflow and congested conditions, and includes upper bounds on the metering rates and on the onramp queue lengths. It is shown that a near-global solution to the resulting nonlinear optimization problem can be found by sol...
متن کاملModel predictive control with repeated model fitting for ramp metering
In this paper we deal with model predictive control for ramp metering on motorways. A discussion of the way ramp metering tries to prevent, or postpone, congestion on a motorway is presented. As an example, a real-life motorway in Belgium is presented. We discuss a traffic flow model that is used in a receding horizon framework and we argue that the quality of the fit of the traffic flow model ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of Online Estimation Methods for a Feedback-Based Freeway Ramp Metering Strategy
The critical density of a freeway link is subject to changes over time owing to such circumstances as environmental conditions (snow, rain, etc.) and traffic incidents. Because of the critical density’s impacts on the performance of some ramp metering strategies that make use of it as a threshold value for control action, it is necessary to trace the real value of the critical density. Hence, m...
متن کاملCongestion, ramp metering and tolls.
The cell transmission model of a freeway is used to compare four congestion-reducing schemes: (R) ramp control only; (T) one lane is tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; (B) bottlenecks are tolled and ramps are uncontrolled; and (RB) ramps are controlled and bottlenecks are tolled. In the base case, ramps are uncontrolled and there are no tolls. It is found that (T) is inefficient and may leave a...
