Abstract

Local, traffic-responsive ramp metering is a wellknown control measure aiming at ameliorating traffic conditions on interurban or metropolitan freeways and motorways. A particular control strategy (ALINEA), the only local ramp metering strategy to be based on rigorous application of classical regulator theory, is presented, along with a low cost implementation concept. Field application of ALINEA and evaluation of its performance in France and The Netherlands confirm its clear superiority as compared to other popular approaches.
