Traffic control via moving bottleneck of coordinated vehicles

摘要: The possibility of properly controlling a moving bottleneck to improve the traffic flow is here considered. represented by means macroscopic model able take into account interactions with bottleneck. This latter interacts surrounding modifying density and speed profiles. An optimal control problem stated using as variable. Specifically in this paper MPC (Model Predictive Control) approach used order get fuel consumption reduction when congested due presence fixed on highway. In addition we have demonstrated that no increase travel time caused application. concept illustrated suggests future innovative approach. Indeed prospective exploiting special vehicles manipulable particularly attractive given expected increasing penetration rate autonomous networks years.
