چکیده

Mainstream traffic flow control (MTFC) enabled via variable speed limits (VSLs) has been investigated in previous studies, utilizing various control strategies. In this paper a new feedback control strategy is proposed for MTFC enabled via VSLs, considering multiple bottleneck locations. Results are evaluated using a validated macroscopic model. The feedback concept is robust and can be immediately implemented in the field as it considers practical and safety constraints.

An Optimal Dynamic Control Method for an Isolated Intersection Using Fuzzy Systems

Traffic flow systems are nonlinear and uncertain, so it is very difficult to find their optimal points. In traditional traffic control systems, the traffic lights of crossings change in a fixed time period that is not optimal. On the other hand, most proposed systems are sufficiently capable of coping with the uncertainties of traffic flow. To solve this problem, there is a need to develop expe...
