Abstract
We propose an integrated approach for dynamic route guidance and ramp metering
control using Model Predictive Control (MPC). The main control objective is to
minimize the total time spent in the network by giving accurate travel times as
controller input to the network while taking into account the effect of other
traffic control measures, such as ramp metering. The travel times shown on the
dynamic route guidance panels allow the drivers to make a choice based on
possible alternatives. By aiming at minimizing the total time spent as well as
the difference between travel times shown to the drivers and the travel times
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 total
time spent while the drivers get accurate travel time information.
