Modeling and PARAMICS Based Evaluation of New Local Freeway Ramp-Metering Strategy that Takes Ramp Queues into Account
One of the major criticisms of ramp-metering has been the delay caused on the ramps because of the queues created by ramp control strategies. However, recently, several researchers proposed strategies that explicitly take into account ramp queues when determining metering rates. In this paper, an isolated “feedback” based ramp-metering strategy using modeling is presented. In addition to the re...
متن کاملOptimal Freeway Ramp Control without Origin- Destination Information
This paper develops an analytical framework for ramp metering, under which various ramp control strategies can be viewed as ramifications of the same most-efficient control logic with different threshold values, control methods, and equity considerations. The most-efficient control logic only meters the entrance ramps nearest critical freeway mainline sections so as to eliminate freeway interna...
متن کاملSystem Dynamics and Feedback Control Design Problem formulations for Real Time Ramp Metering
This paper formulates the ramp metering control problem as a real-time feedback control problem. The development is shown by modeling freeway sections, and hence the results are immediately applicable to isolated ramp metering problems. The ideas presented in this paper can be utilized to develop coordinated ramp metering feedback control techniques. Three different forms of the formulation for...
متن کاملEVALUATING EFFECTIVENESS OF RAMP METERS Evidence from the Twin Cities Ramp Meter Shut-off
Ramp meters in the Twin Cities have been turned off for eight weeks in fall 2000 in an experiment testing their effectiveness. This chapter analyzes the data collected during the experiment on several representative freeways during the afternoon peak period. Several performance measures for ramp metering including mobility, equity, consumers’ surplus, productivity, accessibility, and travel tim...
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 ...
