Coordinating On - ramp Queue Control with Adjacent Local Signal Controller
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a queue control algorithm which is able to coordinate its operation with that of an adjacent local signal control so that its efficiency is improved. A microscopic simulation model (AIMSUN) was used to test the operation of the new queue control algorithm and compare its performance with that of the standard queue control. The assessment has shown the new algorithm to be a significant improvement in reducing the variation of the release rate and the frequency of exceeding the storage capacity whilst the efficiency of utilising ramp space increased. Also, the new algorithm was found to be less sensitive to changes in ramp demand and some parameter settings originally found critical to the operation of standard queue control.

A 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...

In this paper, a decentralized control is utilized for the traffic signal control problem using model predictive control. A point-queue model is used with red-green signal transition times. A traffic signal controller is designed to minimize the queue lengths with information from the adjacent intersections. After the signal controller gathers the needed information from the adjacent intersecti...
