Abstract

In an automated freeway system environment, computers replace artificial driving and control vehicles accompany movement, which can greatly reduce randomness. We propose a traffic flow speed controller which can track desired control rate of speed. The controller can send speed commands to regulate speeds of each section on a freeway. At the same time, the smooth traffic densities of each section will be achieved. Simulations show that this controller can effectively reduce congestion and helps to achieve a smooth traffic flow.
