Vehicle-class Specific Route-guidance of Freeway Traffic by Model-predictive Control

Few Active Traffic Management measures proposed in the past consider the distinction of different vehicle classes. Examples of vehicle-class specific measures are truck lanes and high-occupancy/toll (HOT) lanes. We propose that the distinction of different vehicle classes, with different flow characteristics and societal and economic function,...
