A MODIFIED ALINEA RAMP METERING MODEL

Heung-Un Oh, Virginia P. Sisiopiku

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

This study suggests the introduction of a new strategy for upstream monitoring, as a basis for ramp metering control. The new ramp metering strategy proposed in this paper is MALINEA, and is a modified version of ALINEA, an existing ramp metering strategy. After the study of parameters, MALINEA was constructed as a mathematical and macroscopic flow model and was verified using field data. MALINEA was tested as a feedback control and ramp metering model using Monte Carlo simulation. Comparisons of MOEs (measures of effectiveness) obtained from simulation runs of MALINEA and ALINEA under similar conditions showed that MALINEA demonstrates superior performance. Therefore MALINEA was introduced as a new ramp metering strategy with good potential
