Abstract
We consider optimally coordinated freeway traffic control for networks
containing bottlenecks with capacity drop. Due to the multitude of traffic
jams, and the spatial and temporal relationships between control actions and
traffic behavior, this coordinated control problem is not as straightforward as
for local control. The order in which the measures are applied may be relevant,
or it may be possible that not all jams can be resolved. In that case the best
possible locations of jams should be determined. We develop an approach that
addresses these problems, where we use a generalized representation of
flow-limiting control measures and bottlenecks. The approach supplies the
necessary sequence of control actions and the necessary relocation of traffic
jams to minimize the total time that vehicles spend in the network.
