Using a recently developed microscopic traffic model, we simulate how speed limits, on-ramp controls, and vehicle-based driver-assistance systems influence freeway traffic. We present results for a section of the German Autobahn A8-East. Both, a speed limit and an on-ramp control could considerably reduce the severeness of the originally observed and simulated congestion. Introducing 20 % vehicles equipped with driver-assistance systems eliminated the congestion almost completely.

On the Modeling of Traffic and Crowds: A Survey of Models, Speculations, and Perspectives (2011, background): “Specifically, Treiber and Helbing [203], [204], [205] developed an intelligent driver model, which includes in the acceleration term several effects such as a specific limit to the maximum allowed acceleration and a natural trend to a suitable desired speed of vehicles, see section A.”
Delays, inaccuracies and anticipation in microscopic traffic models (2004, background): “Some investigations predict a positive effect [9], while others are more pessimistic [10].”
Adaptive cruise control design for active congestion avoidance (2008, background): “Particularly, the microscopic modeling approach allows for a natural representation of heterogeneous traffic consisting of ACC vehicles and manually driven vehicles (Kesting et al., 2007b; Davis, 2004; VanderWerf et al., 2002; Treiber and Helbing, 2001; Marsden et al., 2001; Minderhoud, 1999).”
