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.
