Model predictive control for optimal coordination of ramp metering and variable speed limits (2005, background): “In practice the blocking of off-ramp trafﬁc is a typical source of network performance degradation; the theoretical improvement that can be achieved by preventing off-ramp blocking is published in Papageorgiou and Kotsialos (2002).”
A kinematic wave theory of multi-commodity network traffic flow (2012, background): “…network intersections is crucial for transportation engineering and science: practically, it is helpful for developing more efficient ramp metering (Papageorgiou and Kotsialos, 2002), evacuation (Sheffi et al., 1982), signal control, and other management and control strategies; theoretically, it…”
A Survey on the Coordination of Connected and Automated Vehicles at Intersections and Merging at Highway On-Ramps (2017, background): “strategies to address these challenges, including the use of feedback control theory [16]–[20], optimal control [21]–[23] and heuristic algorithms [24], [25], have been explored before [26].”
Automated and Cooperative Vehicle Merging at Highway On-Ramps (2017, neutral): “The solution, when it exists, allows the vehicles to cross the intersections without the use of trafﬁc lights, without creating congestion on the connecting road, and under the hard safety constraint of collision avoidance.”
Dissipation of stop-and-go waves via control of autonomous vehicles: Field experiments (2017, background): “Such systems include variable speed advisory (VSA) or variable speed limits (VSL) [28, 29, 30, 31, 32], which are commonly implemented through signs on overhead gantries, and ramp metering [33, 34, 35], which relies on trafﬁc signals on freeway entrance ramps.”
Energy saving potentials of connected and automated vehicles (2018, background): “Today, solutions such as ramp metering are being used to remedy the situation [120], [121] which requires infrastructure investment and maintenance.”
