Recent analysis of empirical data from cities showed that a macroscopic fundamental diagram (MFD) of urban traffic provides for homogenous network regions a unimodal low …
This paper proposes a physics-informed reinforcement learning (RL)-based ramp metering strategy, which trains the RL model using a combination of historic data and synthetic data …
Local traffic control schemes fall short of achieving coordination with other parts of the urban road network, whereas a centralized controller based on the detailed traffic models would …
The impact of variable speed limits (VSL) on aggregate traffic flow behaviour on motorways is shown to bear similarities to the impact of ramp metering, in particular, when addressing …
Recent research has proposed mainstream traffic flow control (MTFC), enabled via variable speed limits (VSLs), as a novel motorway traffic management tool and has demonstrated its …

On-ramp merging areas are deemed to be typical bottlenecks for freeway networks due to the intensive disturbances induced by the frequent merging, weaving, and lane-changing …
The continuously increasing daily traffic congestions on motorway networks around the world call for innovative control measures that would drastically improve the current traffic …
Integrated motorway traffic flow control considering the use of Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems (VACS) is considered in this paper. VACS may act both as sensors …
This paper develops a model-based hierarchical control method for coordinated ramp metering on freeway networks with multiple bottlenecks and on-and off-ramps. The controller …
