Abstract
In this paper a model-based traffic control is used to design variable speed
limits and on-ramp metering rates in order to reduce road traffic generated
area-wide emissions near freeways. First an area-wide emission model is
proposed and next a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) approach is
applied. The objectives of the MPC controller considered are the emissions,
dispersions of emissions in a public area near a freeway, travel times, or the
combination of these performance indicators. We compare different controlled
scenarios with respect to the uncontrolled case and with respect to each other.
The simulation-based case studies indicate that balanced solutions can be
obtained using the proposed nonlinear MPC control strategy.
