Asservissement Linéaire d’Entrée Autoroutière (ALINEA), a local feedback ramp-metering strategy, has had multiple field applications, and more applications are planned in several European countries. The main features of ALINEA are presented and the field results achieved to date at both single and multiple ramps of the Boulevard Périphérique in Paris and at the A10 West motorway in Amsterdam are summarized. The reported results indicate easy application, flexibility, and high efficiency of ALINEA. Planned implementations are outlined.

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 کاملEvaluation of HERO Coordinated Ramp Metering Installation at the M1/M3 Freeway in Queensland, Australia
The recently developed traffic-responsive feedback control strategy HERO (HEuristic Ramp metering cOordination), that coordinates local ramp-metering actions in freeway networks, was implemented at the M1/M3 Freeway in Queensland, Australia. HERO employs an extended version of the feedback regulator ALINEA at the local level. HERO outperforms uncoordinated local ramp metering and approaches the...
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 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 کاملLocalized Switching Ramp-metering Control with Queue Length Estimation and Regulation and Microscopic Simulation Results?
In this paper, we first review a localized ramp-metering strategy for freeways that achieves the goal of reducing the spatial and temporal span of traffic congestion, using locally available information. The control scheme is composed of a switching mainline-traffic responsive ramp-metering controller that adapts to the different traffic dynamics under different congestion conditions—free-flow ...
