Abstract

As one of the most important part of the modern comprehensive transportation system, highway plays a critical role in national traffic system, which bears the most of traffic load. Whereas, ramp areas may become bottleneck areas of highway if the control is inappropriate or ineffective. The cooperative vehicle infrastructure system (CVIS) brings great opportunities for ramp control to address many tricky problems, among which the merging control of on-ramp vehicles is one of the most prominent problem related to traffic efficiency and safety. In this paper, we apply the technology of cooperative vehicle infrastructure control in the highway ramp area to enhance the traffic efficiency and safety, and propose a merging control method for on-ramp vehicles. At last, a simulation is conducted to evaluate this control method.
