Abstract
In this paper, a new distributed model predictive control (MPC) scheme for
freeway traffic control is proposed. It is aimed at reducing the communication
efforts and the computation times in a large network. This new algorithm can
coordinate a large number of on-ramps throughout a freeway network in a
partially cooperative scheme. The communication is performed between
neighboring on-ramps in a special serial fashion and with three different
proposed cooperative schemes. The computation time is much less than that of
existing distributed MPC approaches in the literature, while achieving a
performance close to the one of the centralized MPC method. To evaluate the
performance of the proposed partially cooperative schemes, a freeway network
case study is selected and the problem of coordination between several on-ramps
is solved using different methods from a centralized approach to a fully
decentralized one. The obtained results show a significant decrease in the
total computation time with respect to the centralized and fully cooperative
schemes, while maintaining a close distance to the optimal objective function
obtained from the centralized case. Furthermore, the performance of the
proposed partially cooperative MPC method is evaluated in the case of incidents
in the network.
