Freeway traffic control is a broad research area, not only interesting for its applicative
perspective, but also highly motivating for theoretical investigations. This research topic has …

This paper compares global and local model predictive control (MPC) algorithms in a traffic
network controlled by intelligent transportation system (ITS) signals (ramp metering and …

In this paper, two hybrid Model Predictive Control (MPC) approaches for freeway traffic
control are proposed considering variable speed limits (VSL) as discrete variables as in …

This paper proposes a macroscopic model and two control algorithms for the dynamic
operation of reversible lanes on freeways. The proposed model is an extension of the …

The adjoint method provides a computationally efficient means of calculating the gradient for
applications in constrained optimization. In this article, we consider a network of scalar …

The objective of this paper is the definition of a distributed model predictive control scheme
for freeway systems. The proposed control scheme is based on an innovative reformulation …

This article provides an overview of the classical and new techniques in traffic flow control
and estimations. The overview begins with a description of the most used traffic flow models …

The Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework has shown great potential for the control of
Variable Speed Limits (VSLs) and Ramp Metering (RM) installations. However, the …

The problem of designing integrated traffic control strategies for highway networks with the
use of route guidance, ramp metering is considered. The highway network is simulated …

Optimal control problems on dynamical systems are concerned with finding a control policy,
which minimizes a desired objective, where the objective value depends on the future …
