Abstract
We present a model predictive control (MPC) approach to optimally coordinate
variable speed limits for freeway traffic. In particular, we consider
discrete-valued variable speed limits. Moreover, we also impose a safety
constraint that prevents drivers from encountering speed limit drops larger
than, say, 10 km/h. The control objective is to minimize the total time that
vehicles spend in the network. This approach results in dynamic speed limits
that reduce or even eliminate shock waves.
