Optimal Control for Reducing Congestion and Improving Safety in Freeway Systems


Optimal Control for Reducing Congestion and Improving Safety in Freeway Systems is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems''. The main subjects of the publication include transportation engineering, operations research, biological function, control in organization management, metering mode, traffic flow, traffic congestion, computer science, and engineering. A specific goal of this research is \nto develop a global safety index that quantifies the expected \nnumber of crashes as a function of the current traffic state in the \nfreeway system.
