Abstract:

The report contains the authors initial efforts aimed at extending the steady state freeway model for optimizing freeway traffic flow to a non-steady state model. The steady-state model does not allow reaction to continuously changing conditions which are often important. The non-steady state or dynamic model will allow this and is intended to be used whenever a metering rate which changes with time is needed. The dynamic modeling is accomplished by developing optimization procedures based on the principles of traffic dynamics, specifically, the continuum equations. In this initial effort only a tunnel roadway and a single land freeway (but with exits and ramps) are considered.
