Recurrent and nonrecurrent congestion on freeways may be alleviated if today's"
spontaneous" infrastructure utilization is replaced by an orderly, controllable operation via …

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 …

Traffic congestion in urban road and freeway networks leads to a strong degradation of the
network infrastructure and accordingly reduced throughput, which can be countered via …

The onramp metering control problem is posed using a cell transmission-like model called
the asymmetric cell transmission model (ACTM). The problem formulation captures both …

The paper proposes a first-order macroscopic stochastic dynamic traffic model, namely the
stochastic cell transmission model (SCTM), to model traffic flow density on freeway …

The problem of designing integrated traffic control strategies for motorway networks with the
use of ramp metering, route guidance, and motorway-to-motorway control measures is …

A nonlinear model-predictive hierarchical control approach is presented for coordinated
ramp metering of freeway networks. The utilized hierarchical structure consists of three …

Variable speed limit (VSL) can be used on freeways to manage traffic flow with the goal of
improving capacity. To achieve the objective, this study proposes a novel VSL control …

In this study, we propose and test through micro-simulation a novel controller for the
combined control of freeway traffic by adopting coordinated Ramp Metering (RM) and …

The paper characterizes the behavior of the cell transmission model of a freeway, divided
into N sections or cells, each with one on-ramp and one off-ramp. The state of the dynamical …
