Multicriteria ramp metering control considering environmental and traffic aspects

In this paper a multicriteria ramp metering control is designed considering three criteria: traffic performance and the local– and global effects of traffic emission. For real-time emission modeling a macroscopic modeling framework is proposed using an average-speed emission model. Based on the prop...

Summary:In this paper a multicriteria ramp metering control is designed considering three criteria: traffic performance and the local– and global effects of traffic emission. For real-time emission modeling a macroscopic modeling framework is proposed using an average-speed emission model. Based on the proposed model function cost functions regarding the global and local effects of traffic emission are stated. Traffic control is realized via ramp metering and the control input is optimized by using the NMPC technique. The closed-loop simulation of the designed control is carried out in VISSIM microscopic simulator.
