Freeway Traffic Management and Control

Simulation, Dynamics and Control of Freeway Traffic

This paper presents the Simulator of Intelligent Transportation Systems (SITS).The SITS is based on a microscopic simulation approach to reproduce real traffic conditions in an urban or non-urban network considering different types of vehicles, drivers and roads. A dynamical analysis of several traffic phenomena, applying a new modelling formalism based on the embedding of statistics and Fourie...

Microsimulations of Freeway Traffic Including Control Measures

Using a recently developed microscopic traffic model, we simulate how speed limits, on-ramp controls, and vehicle-based driver-assistance systems influence freeway traffic. We present results for a section of the German Autobahn A8-East. Both, a speed limit and an on-ramp control could considerably reduce the severeness of the originally observed and simulated congestion. Introducing 20% vehicl...

Hybrid stochastic framework for freeway traffic flow modelling

Traffic flow is an interesting many-particle phenomenon, with nonlinear interactions between the vehicles. This paper studies highway traffic and presents a general framework for traffic modelling as a stochastic hybrid system (with continuous and discrete dynamics and some interactions between its components). The freeway is considered as a network of components, each component modelling a dif...
