Abstract
Traffic models play an important role in both today's traffic research and in
many traffic applications such as traffic flow prediction, incident detection
and traffic control. In this paper we concentrate on motorway traffic models
for traffic control. First, we discuss why traffic control is important for
both practice and research. We also argue why a model-based approach to traffic
control is used and how it is implemented in traffic applications. Every
traffic application requires specific features of the traffic model. After
classifying the models based on these features, we look in detail at three
macroscopic models since these models are best suited for implementation in
traffic control systems. We conclude with an illustrative example that
illustrates a model-based predictive control approach for ramp metering.
