Heavy traffic on a controlled motorway
Unlimited access to a motorway network can, in overloaded conditions, cause a loss of capacity. Ramp metering (signals on slip roads to control access to the motorway) can help avoid this loss of capacity. The design of ramp metering strategies has several features in common with the design of access control mechanisms in communication networks. Inspired by models and rate control mechanisms de...

متن کاملOverview of Motorway Network Traffic Control Strategies
The efficient, safe, and less polluting transportation of persons and goods on motorways calls for an optimal utilisation of the available infrastructure via suitable application of a variety of traffic control measures. The recent developments and advances in the areas of computation and communications may support this effort, but it is evident that the efficiency of traffic control depends on...
متن کاملOverestimated crash risks of young and elderly drivers.
BACKGROUND Young and elderly drivers are reported to have markedly greater crash rates than drivers of other ages, but they travel less frequently and represent a minority of road users. Consequently, many crashes involving young or elderly drivers also involve drivers of middle age ranges who travel more frequently. PURPOSE To examine crash rates of young and elderly drivers, controlling for...
متن کاملFeedback-Based Integrated Motorway Traffic Flow Control
Congestion on motorways is a serious problem of modern societies. It reduces the nominal capacity of the motorway infrastructure, with serious impact on travel times, traffic safety, fuel consumption and environmental pollution. Various traffic management measures have been proposed to alleviate traffic congestion but are known to face limitations. An integrated motorway traffic flow control co...
