Lane Change Control Combined with Ramp Metering: A Strategy to Manage Delays at On-Ramp Merging Sections

Abstract: Control measures at merging locations aimed at either the mainline traffic or on-ramp traffic do not lead to a fairness in the distribution of total delay across the two streams. This paper presents a control strategy of combining a lane change control with a ramp metering system at motorway merges. The control strategy presents the opportunity to control the delays incurred at the two traffic streams of the merge. An optimization problem is formulated for a multilane motorway with an on-ramp with the aim to m… Show more

“…Te cooperation of ramp metering and variable speed limits was proposed for expressways management strategies, which improved the speed of vehicles and reduced gas emissions [16]. Another cooperative method that considered ramp metering (ALI-NEA) and lane change strategies (i.e., encouraging vehicles at inner lanes to change their lanes earlier before entering the weaving area) was introduced, leading to a 4% reduction in the total travel time when compared with only using a separate method [17].…”

“…Even if the demand level of the mainline is low, if the merge flow is relatively high, congestion may occur in the outermost lane due to merging vehicles. Furthermore, the traffic flow in inner lanes can deteriorate due to lane‐changing vehicles entering in advance of the merging section [13]. Kim et al.…”

“…Even if the demand level of the mainline is low, if the merge flow is relatively high, congestion may occur in the outermost lane due to merging vehicles. Furthermore, the traffic flow in inner lanes can deteriorate due to lane-changing vehicles entering in advance of the merging section [13]. Kim et al [14] developed a new LCC strategy to determine the optimal number of lanechanging vehicles at a merge bottleneck and induced CVs to change lanes with consideration of the real-time on-ramp flow.…”
