Abstract
We consider optimally coordinated freeway traffic control for networks
containing bottlenecks with capacity drop and hysteresis behavior. Due to the
multitude of traffic jams, and the spatial and temporal relationships between
control actions and traffic behavior, this 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. We determine whether a certain
set of control measures is sufficient to improve the network performance. The
approach also supplies the necessary sequence of control actions and the
necessary relocation of traffic jams to achieve the network state corresponding
to the best achievable performance.
