Abstract
We develop an anticipative model-based predictive traffic control approach for
ramp metering in freeway traffic networks. If ramp metering is implemented in a
freeway network with alternative routes, traffic can spontaneously re-route due
to the response of the drivers to the applied control actions. Although
spontaneous re-routing can have a significant influence on the resulting
traffic situation in the traffic network and on the performance of the traffic
network as a whole, re-routing is usually not automatically included in current
freeway traffic control frameworks. In this paper, we develop a new method to
efficiently calculate and incorporate re-routing effects into a model-based
predictive traffic control framework. In this way, anticipative model
predictive control for ramp metering in freeway networks is realized. Note that
although the focus in this paper is on ramp metering, the approach presented
here can also be used for other traffic control measures.
