Optimal bounded flow metering and lane-changing control at motorway bottlenecks
Résumé
In the near future, the appearance of vehicle automation and connectivity will revolutionise the features and capabilities of individual vehicles. Among the wide range of potentially introduced technology, some may be exploited to interfere with the driving behaviour via recommending, supporting, or even executing appropriately designed traffic control tasks, providing unprecedented opportunities to improve traffic control performance [1]-[3]. It has been shown that, particularly at bottleneck locations (e.g., lane-drops, on-ramp merges), human drivers usually perform suboptimal lane-changes based on erroneous perceptions, which may trigger congestion, and, thus, deteriorate the overall travel time (e.g., [4]-[7]). Furthermore, some of the mentioned empirical investigations indicate that, in conventional traffic, capacity flow is not reached simultaneously at all lanes, a feature that reduces the potentially achievable cross-lane capacity. For these reasons, a promising new feature that may be exploited for traffic management, independently or in combination with other strategies, is lane-changing control.
