Abstract
We consider traffic management and control approaches for Intelligent Vehicle
Highway Systems (IVHS), which consist of interacting intelligent vehicles and
intelligent roadside controllers. The vehicles are organized in platoons with
short intraplatoon distances, and larger distances between platoons. All
vehicles are assumed to be fully automated, i.e., throttle, braking, and
steering commands are determined by an automated on-board controller. We
consider both dynamic speed limit control for the platoons in the IVHS and
access control at the on-ramps using ramp metering. We propose a model-based
predictive control (MPC) approach to determine appropriate speed limits and
release times at the on-ramps for the platoons. The proposed approach is also
applied to a simple simulation example in which the aim is to minimize the
total time all vehicles spend in the network by optimally assigning dynamic
speed limits and on-ramp release times.
