Abstract
We propose a traffic control approach that integrates ramp metering and of
dynamic route guidance using a model predictive control framework. The main
objective of the control is to minimize the Total Time Spent (TTS) in the
network by providing accurate travel times shown the Dynamic Route Guidance
Panels (DRIPs) as controller input to the traffic network while taking into
account the effect of other traffic control measures, such as ramp metering. By
aiming at minimizing the TTS as well as the difference between travel times
shown on the DRIPs and the travel times actually realized by the drivers, the
interests of both the individual drivers as well as the road administration are
pursued. Simulation results for a case study show that the proposed integrated
MPC traffic control results in a lower TTS while the drivers get accurate
travel time information.
