ADAPTIVE FUZZY SYSTEMS FOR TRAFFIC RESPONSIVE AND COORDINATED RAMP METERING
Klaus Bogenberger · OpenGrey (Institut de l'Information Scientifique et Technique) · 2001
In this dissertation, new adaptive fuzzy algorithms for coordinated ramp metering are described. A new model family named ACCEZZ (Adaptive and Coordinated Control of Entrance Ramps with Fuzzy Logic) is presented, designed to overcome the limitations of existing coordinated ramp metering algorithms. Coordinated ramp metering is achieved in the ACCEZZ models by applying fuzzy control to a series of entrance ramps, taking into account the interdependency of the ramp operations. Each of the models is explained in detail, evaluated using simulation, and compared to other ramp metering approaches in several scenarios.
