Researchers have been studying new methods and solutions to monitor and control freeway
traffic systems for some decades. Yet, present technological developments make the transfer …

Freeway traffic control is a broad research area, not only interesting for its applicative
perspective, but also highly motivating for theoretical investigations. This research topic has …

Sustainability is a key point in the design and management of mobility and traffic systems,
which affects also the development of traffic control strategies for freeway networks …

This paper presents a microscopic simulation laboratory, microscopic traffic flow simulator
(MITSIM) Lab, and its application to evaluation of freeway traffic control. Traffic pattern on …

A microscopic mathematical model of freeway traffic flow is applied to a 6 km stretch of the
Boulevard Périphérique in Paris including several on-ramps and off-ramps. The model is …

This report presents a basic nonlinear invariant model for simulating motorway traffic flow,
and extends it to show more realistic behaviour at bottlenecks. Section i lists seven different …

Traffic congestion in urban road and freeway networks leads to a strong degradation of the
network infrastructure and accordingly reduced throughput which can be countered via …

In the Netherlands a freeway control and signaling system has been installed on several
freeways. One purpose of the system is to improve traffic flow and avoid the development of …

The paper proposes a multi-class control scheme for freeway traffic networks. This control
scheme combines two control strategies, ie ramp metering and route guidance, in order to …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses traffic flow modeling advancements, the issue of
route guidance, and information systems. The specific road and motorway network control …
