Abstract

The problem of determining Ramp Metering control rates, taking into account routing response, is addressed in this paper. We develop Model Predictive Control based Anticipatory control schemes, featuring both centralized and decomposed optimization problems, with focus on real-life deployability. We then evaluate the aforementioned schemes´ performances in comparison to simpler, non-anticipatory control techniques, by means of software simulation based on purpose-built experimental scenarios.
