Title: | Model predictive control for ramp metering of motorway traffic: A case study | Authors: | BELLEMANS, Tom De Schutter, B. DE MOOR, Bart |
Issue Date: | 2006 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Source: | CONTROL ENGINEERING PRACTICE, 14(7). p. 757-767 | Abstract: | A real-life motorway in Belgium is studied and a comparison is made between a simulation of a morning rush hour situation without control and a simulation of a morning rush hour situation with ramp metering implemented. Two types of controllers are compared: a traditional ALINEA based controller and a model predictive control based ramp metering controller. In order to evaluate the controllers in a realistic framework, the simulations presented in this paper are based on real-life traffic measurements, and constraints on the maximal allowed queue lengths at the on-ramps are imposed. The presented simulations are indicative for the reduction in the total time spent (on the studied motorway and on the on-ramps) that can be achieved by ramp metering during a typical morning rush hour | Keywords: | model predictive control; traffic control; ramp metering | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/1490 | ISSN: | 0967-0661 | e-ISSN: | 1873-6939 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.conengprac.2005.03.010 | ISI #: | 000237589400004 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
