Traffic Model and On-Ramp Metering Strategy under Foggy Weather Conditions Using T-S Fuzzy Systems

Traffic Diversion Resulting from Ramp Metering

Control of traffic with anticipative ramp metering

When there are different routes from origin to destination in a network, the traffic divides itself over these routes. The resulting assignment is often determined by the travel times on the different routes. When control measures are implemented the travel times for some routes change, which can lead to a change in the assignment. This change in assignment can effect the performance of the who...

Effects of on-ramp and off-ramp metering on queue forming in urban traffic networks

To control the traffic flows near on-ramps and off-ramps, ramp metering installations can be used. We compare on-ramp metering and off-ramp metering, with respect to queue forming and total time spent. Both control measures are used to improve traffic flow on freeways, and both have influence on the route choice of the drivers. Although the two measures are very similar, there are some major di...

Switching fuzzy modelling and control scheme using T-S fuzzy systems with nonlinear consequent parts

This paper extends the idea of switching T-S fuzzy systems with linear consequent parts to nonlinear ones. Each nonlinear subsystem is exactly represented by a T-S fuzzy system with Lure’ type consequent parts, which allows to model and control wider classes of switching systems and also reduce the computation burden of control synthesis. With the use of a switching fuzzy Lyapunov function, the...
