The trend of increasing traffic demand is causing congestion on existing urban roads,
including urban motorways, resulting in a decrease in Level of Service (LoS) and safety, and …

Traffic control strategy plays a significant role in obtaining sustainable objectives because it
not only improves traffic mobility but also enhances traffic management systems. It has been …

The objective of this paper is the regulation of freeway traffic by means of optimal control
techniques. A first innovative aspect of the proposed approach is the adopted objective …

On freeways with multiple on-ramps, it is a common practice to design a ramp metering
strategy so as to regulate the entering rates from ramps and minimize the disruptions on the …

This paper presents the design of a coordinated ramp metering strategy based on a newly
developed multi-class second-order macroscopic traffic flow model coupled with a pollutant …

Sustainability is a key point in the design and management of mobility and traffic systems,
which affects also the development of traffic control strategies for freeway networks …

Two hierarchical control schemes for regulating traffic in freeway networks via ramp
metering are developed in this article. Both schemes are characterized by a multiclass …

In this study, we propose an H∞ state feedback controller for freeway traffic flow. The
integrated freeway traffic flow management scheme is applied through coordination of ramp …

This paper studies the capacity drops phenomena on a macroscopic, first-order model for
freeway traffic. In particular, we focus on the effect that a Service Station (ST) has on the …

The main objective of this paper is to propose a new two-class macroscopic emission model
to describe the pollutant emissions produced by freeway traffic. The innovative aspect of the …
