An Extended Linear Quadratic Model Predictive Control Approach for Multi-Destination Urban Traffic Networks

This paper extends an existing linear quadratic model predictive control (LQMPC) approach to multi-destination traffic networks, where the correct origin-destination (OD) relations are preserved. In the literature, the LQMPC approach has been presented for efficient routing and intersection signal control. The optimization problem in the...

Integrated network linear-quadratic model predictive control for disturbance on freeways

We propose an integrated approach for dynamic route guidance and ramp metering using Linear Quadratic Model Predictive Control (LQMPC). The main objective is to maximize the throughput of the network by guiding traffic flow towards to insufficiently utilized infrastructures. Due to the linear property of the LQMPC, it is fast enough for real...

Model Predictive Control for Integrating Traffic Control Measures

Dynamic traffic control measures, such as ramp metering and dynamic speed limits, can be used to better utilize the available road capacity. Due to the increasing traffic volumes and the increasing number of traffic jams the interaction between the control measures has increased such that local control measures are often not sufficient anymore....
