Περίληψη

This study presents a real-time merging traffic control algorithm to mitigate the problem of freeway congestion resulting from an overspilling off-ramp. The proposed control algorithm aims at maximizing the merge area outflow of the surface street and at the same time preventing the off-ramp queue spillover into the freeway mainstream and the resulting freeway congestion. The potential benefits obtained by applying the proposed control concept are demonstrated by the use of microscopic simulation applied to a real freeway network where recurrent freeway traffic congestion is created as a result of an overspilling off-ramp. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed control algorithm may improve the prevailing traffic conditions, preventing the formation of freeway congestion and benefiting freeway drivers and surface street users.
