Abstract:

In order to improve the loss of traffic efficiency caused by the application of variable speed limit control, the integration of adaptive cruise control and variable speed limit control is analyzed to control the highway traffic. The cruise control model is developed from the intelligent driver model, and then it is integrated with the variable speed limit control method. The microscopic traffic data of the NGSIM in the USA are used to calibrate the models. Simulations of the highway traffic are carried out. Results show that the integrated control method reduces the average increasing rate of vehicles' travel time by successfully declining the speed of the vehicles in the upstream of the bottleneck, thus improving the traffic efficiency of the highway. The results of this study may provide valuable information for highway traffic management.

Key words: engineering of communication and transportation system, adaptive cruise control, variable speed limit control, traffic efficiency, highway
