Over a period spanning more than 30 years, several ramp metering algorithms have been
developed to improve the operation of freeways. Many of these algorithms were deployed in …

Coordinated ramp metering strategies have been suggested as more effective measures
than local ramp metering when there are multiple congestion bottlenecks on the freeway …

Ramp metering is used to improve the Level of service of highways containing a higher
number off on-and off-ramps with traffic load at peak hours. An overview of existing Ramp …

Ramp meters are special traffic signals at the end of a freeway on-ramp that regulate the
flow of traffic onto the mainline. The main purpose of ramp meters is to keep the mainline of …

The primary objective of this project was to compare ramp metering algorithms and develop
guidelines for improving ramp metering operations in Texas. As part of this research project …

Ramp metering has emerged as an effective freeway control measure to ensure efficient
freeway operations. A number of algorithms have been developed in recent years to ensure …

ALINEA, a local feedback ramp metering strategy, has been experimented on the A6
motorway around Paris on four consecutive on-ramps. This paper summarizes the field …

In a recent series of articles with largely identical contents and results, some claims are
raised about the pertinence and performance of the well-known and widely field-applied …

As an efficient traffic control strategy to ameliorate freeway traffic congestion, ramp metering
has been successfully applied in the US. However, the applicability and effectiveness of a …

Ramp metering systems on motorways in urban areas need a level of coordination,
otherwise, traffic on some on‐ramps has much more difficulty entering the motorway than on …
