Abstract
Taylor, C.J., Young, P.C., Chotai, A. and Whittaker, J. (1998) A non-minimal state space approach to multivariable ramp metering control of motorway bottlenecks, Proceedings of the Institute of Electrical Engineering, Control Theory and Applications, 145, 6, 568-574.
| The paper discusses the automatic control of motorway traffic flows utilising ramp metering, i.e. traffic lights on the on-ramp entrances. A multivariable ramp metering system is developed, based on the nonminimal state space (NMSS) approach to control system design using adaptive proportional-integral-plus, linear quadratic (PIP-LQ) optimal controllers. The controller is evaluated on a nonlinear statistical traffic model (STM) simulation of the Amsterdam ring road near the Coen Tunnel. |
