Comparing 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 کاملDevelopment 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 کاملDesign, Field Implementation and Evaluation of Adaptive Ramp Metering Algorithms: Final Report
Part I: Modeling, Estimation, and RampMetering Control of Freeway Traffic Themain objective of Part I is to develop improved algorithms for freeway on-ramp metering control. Toward this end, two macroscopic traffic models are first introduced and analyzed. The first is a modification of the cell transmission model (CTM) developed by Daganzo. This modified CTM uses cell vehicle densities as its ...
متن کاملA Set of New Traffic-responsive Ramp-metering Algorithms and Microscopic Simulation Results
In this paper, we present a novel switching traffic-responsive ramp-metering controller that adapts to the different traffic dynamics under different congestion conditions—free-flow or congested. The approach of multirate linear quadratic control with integral action (LQI) is employed to compensate for disturbances and to accommodate the difference between the model sampling time and the meteri...
متن کاملQuantifying effects of ramp metering on freeway safety.
This study presents a real-time crash prediction model and uses this model to investigate the effect of the local traffic-responsive ramp metering strategy on freeway safety. Safety benefits of ramp metering are quantified in terms of the reduced crash potential estimated by the real-time crash prediction model. Driver responses to ramp metering and the consequent traffic flow changes were obse...
