Development of A Simulation Laboratory for Evaluating Ramp Metering Algorithms
As an efficient traffic control strategy to ameliorate freeway traffic congestion, ramp metering has been successfully applied in the US. However, the applicability and effectiveness of a ramp-metering strategy are required to be investigated during the preimplementation phase in order to ensure the success of the implementation. The use of traffic simulation models can provide a quick and cost...
متن کاملComparing Methods of Ramp Metering for On-Ramps to Improve the Operational Conditions at Peak Hours
This paper aims to evaluate and compare the effects of different methods of ramp metering on the operational conditions of traffic flow at three levels: the network level (including the freeway and its connected ramps), the entrance ramp, and the upstream segment of the entrance. To achieve this aim, one of the most important urban freeways in the metropolis of Isfahan was selected. The traffic...
متن کاملCoordinated Ramp Metering and Intersection Signal Control
The operations of freeway ramp metering and urban traffic network signal control are independent in most areas. Such situation may cause some conflict between traffic streams of the two subsystems, or, at least, their dynamic interactions have not been taken into account from an overall system viewpoint. Traffic performance can be improved if the controls of these two subnetworks are integrated...
متن کاملModel predictive control for ramp metering of motorway traffic: A case study
A real-life motorway in Belgium is studied and a comparison is made between a simulation of a morning rush hour situation without control and a simulation of a morning rush hour situation with ramp metering implemented. Two types of controllers are compared: a traditional ALINEA based controller and a model predictive control based ramp metering controller. In order to evaluate the controllers ...
متن کاملApplication of Variable Speed Limits and Ramp Metering to Improve Safety and Efficiency of Freeways
Research recently conducted at the University of Central Florida involving crashes on Interstate-4 (I-4) freeway in Orlando, Florida led to the creation of new statistical and neural networks models that are capable of determining rear-end and lane-change crash risks along the freeway in real-time. For determining the rear-end crash risk, it was found that rear-end crashes occur within one of t...
