| Title | An Optimal Control Model on Traffic Corridors with Route Guidance |
|---|---|
| Author | Ta-Yin Hu and Tung-Yu Wu |
| Summary | During the peak period, recurrent traffic congestion usually occurs in transportation corridors, and the resulting queues affect not only mainline freeways but also near-by surface streets. Intelligent Traffic Management (ITM) has been proposed to relieve possible congestion on traffic corridors through advanced and intelligent traffic control strategies. Based on the concept of the store-and-forward method, the corridor management problem is formulated as a linear optimal control model, and the objective function is to minimize the total queue length for considered traffic corridors. The advantage of an optimal linear control model can be used to evaluate the offline control strategy and online control. Objective values for different control strategies are solved by CPLEX, and the optimal control settings are obtained based on these calculations. |
