Optimal dynamic speed-limit control for highway work zone operations Kang, Kyeong-Pyo ; Chang, Gang-Len ; Zou, Nan
Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 2004Description: nr 1877, s. 77-84Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1877; VTI P8169:2004Location: Abstract: Despite the well-recognized fact that proper control of traffic speed can contribute to both a reduction in accidents and improved efficiency of highway operations, most existing speed-control strategies implemented in Europe and the United States tend to aim only at improving traffic safety. An on-line algorithm for variable speed-limit control at highway work zones is presented that can take full advantage of its dynamic functions and concurrently achieve the objectives of throughput maximization and accident minimization.| Current library | Status | |
