Hierarchical model predictive control for multi-lane motorways in presence of Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems
A hierarchical MPC problem for traffic management in presence of VACS is proposed. The problem considers ramp metering, mainstream traffic flow control, and lane-changing control. The exploitation of VACS as actuators is envisaged. The effectiveness of this methodology is demonstrated using microscopic simulations.
