Book Description and evaluation of controlled freeway merging

Download or read book Description and evaluation of controlled freeway merging written by Kenneth Alvin Brewer and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation involves the mathematical modeling of the operation of a freeway entrance ramp merging control system. A renewal process was utilized to develop expressions for the statistical moments of the time a vehicle waits at the entrance ramp signal for gap acceptance control. The moments so developed were compared to moments previously developed by combinatorial analysis. A Poisson input-arbitrary service queuing approach produced expressions for the expected queue at the signal, the expected wait in the queue and the expected time a vehicle would spend in the control system before being released at the signal. The basic queueing model was applied to fixed rate metering entrance ramp control with a constant service rate introduced into the model. The capacity-demand system of ramp control was modeled in terms of a generalized Poisson process for freeway outside lane vehicular arrivals. Probabilities of failure to meet freeway control system criteria were developed from the mathematical expressions. ...

Book A Design and Synthesis of a Multilevel Freeway Control System and a Study of Its Associated Operational Control Plan

Download or read book A Design and Synthesis of a Multilevel Freeway Control System and a Study of Its Associated Operational Control Plan written by Carroll Joe Messer and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation considers the mathematical modeling and implementation of a multilevel freeway control system together with a consideration of some operational alternatives and associated consequences of real-time freeway control. The control functions of the freeway control system were considered to be different levels of a multilevel control system. The various levels in the multilevel format were (1) the entrance ramp signal regulating function, (2) the ramp merging control optimizing function, (3) the ramp merging control adaptive function, (4) the freeway system optimizing function, (5) the freeway system adaptive function, and (6) the self-organizing function. The individual control functions that existed at each level were studied; and new ones were developed or modifications made to previous ones as required to effect a more efficient control system. The necessary transfer or linkage functions between levels of control were also modeled. ...

Book Freeway Traffic Modelling and Control

Download or read book Freeway Traffic Modelling and Control written by Antonella Ferrara and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph provides an extended overview of modelling and control approaches for freeway traffic systems, moving from the early methods to the most recent scientific results and field implementations. The concepts of green traffic systems and smart mobility are addressed in the book, since a modern freeway traffic management system should be designed to be sustainable. Future perspectives on freeway traffic control are also analysed and discussed with reference to the most recent technological advancements The most widespread modelling and control techniques for freeway traffic systems are treated with mathematical rigour, but also discussed with reference to their performance assessment and to the expected impact of their practical usage in real traffic systems. In order to make the book accessible to readers of different backgrounds, some fundamental aspects of traffic theory as well as some basic control concepts, useful for better understanding the addressed topics, are provided in the book. This monograph can be used as a textbook for courses on transport engineering, traffic management and control. It is also addressed to experts working in traffic monitoring and control areas and to researchers, technicians and practitioners of both transportation and control engineering. The authors’ systematic vision of traffic modelling and control methods developed over decades makes the book a valuable survey resource for freeway traffic managers, freeway stakeholders and transportation public authorities with professional interests in freeway traffic systems. Advances in Industrial Control reports and encourages the transfer of technology in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all areas of the control discipline. The series offers an opportunity for researchers to present an extended exposition of new work in all aspects of industrial control.
