Optimising the throughput for an integrated urban-freeway network: Design of an MPC controller using variable speed limits and intersection control

In this MSc Thesis project, a Model Predictive Controller (MPC controller) using variable speed limits and intersection control was designed and subsequently evaluated. The design was based on combining existing control algorithms for urban and freeway networks, integrating them. While this MPC controller improved upon throughput more than MPC...

Assessing Travel Time Reliability in Urban Networks from a Road User Perspective

Research on the relevance of reliable travel times to road users. Generally, average travel times are used, but reliability is important to road users as well. A method in which travel time reliability is included is developed and evaluated.
