Abstract
We develop an anticipative model-based traffic control approach for ramp
metering in freeway 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.
