Traffic congestion is a condition on road networks that
occurs as use increases
Characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, and
increased vehicular queuing
Increase in traffic demand and the interaction between
vehicles, slows the speed of the traffic stream
3
Traffic congestion induced by traffic accidents called
"incident congestion".

Ramp metering (www.dcsc.tudelf.nl)
To alleviate traffic jam many ramp-metering measures are
used on the urban expressway.

RAMP- METERING
Traffic signals on entrance ramp
For addressing recurring freeway congestion
Control the rate at which vehicles enter the mainline
May be controlled locally based on time-of-day and
day-of-week
Traffic responsive metering -enacted based on volume,
occupancy, or speed
Obtained by the local freeway detection
7
 Plans are stored in the controller in the same manner as
surface street intersection traffic signals
May also be controlled from a central system based on
ramp and mainline traffic conditions
Can be turned on and off from the operations center
 Can be controlled by central software
 Utilizing ramp metering algorithms to disperse traffic
volumes throughout the system
8
TYPES OF RAMP METERING
Simplest form of ramp metering
Pre-programmed metering rate for the particular control
period
 Based on historically averaged traffic conditions
 The cycle length is set and does not change
Primary drawback of this metering system
Fixed Time/Time of Day Metering (TOD)
9
.
TYPES OF RAMP METERING (Contd)
Local Traffic Responsive Metering
Directly influenced by mainline traffic conditions
The controller can override the set metered rates
It reacts only to traffic conditions adjacent to the ramp
Local traffic responsive metering is widely used
10
TYPES OF RAMP METERING (Contd)
System Wide Adaptive Ramp Metering (SWARM)
Adapts the local traffic responsive metering concept to a
whole section of freeway
An effective new tool in ramp metering
Capable to adjust the metering rate of several
consecutive ramp meters
Based on actual traffic conditions
11
DOUBLE-LAYER RAMP METERING MODEL is an
emerging technique , based on adaptive neural
networking
 The function of the lower model -recognize where the
incident congestion occurs
Should identify the congestion, and design a control
strategy quickly and accurately
Upper model-design the ramp-metering strategy
12
CONCEPTS
Models of biological neural structures
The starting point is a model neuron
Consists of multiple inputs and a single output.
Each input is modified by a weight
Multiplies with the input value
The neuron will combine these weighted inputs
13
A model neuron (source:
Back propagation network is the most prevalent and
generalized neural network currently in use
Usually fully connected

15
Each neuron is connected to every output from the
preceding layer
Connected to one input from the external world if the
neuron is in the first layer
Output is connected to every neuron in the succeeding layer.

qt , vt , ot - the traffic flow, traffic velocity, density

qt-1, vt-1, ot-1 is the traffic flow, traffic velocity , density

Model establishment (Contd..)
qt , vt , ot is the traffic flow, traffic velocity, density
for lower section at time t
24
 qt-1 is the traffic flow for lower section at time t -1
ot-1 is the density for lower section at time t -1
Model establishment (Contd..)
The outputs are congestion state (y1 = 1) and no
congestion state (Y2 =1 ), which could be written as
Y =( 1 ,0 )
If Y =1, there is traffic incident congestion
25
 The structure of the lower model is described as "3 +1"
 "3" means the typical 3-layer BP neural network,
"1" means a transport layer to the upper model
If Y =0,the output of the lower model is null;
 if Y =1, the dot product function would be activated
Required ramp metering number would be calculated
Transported to the upper model as input data

UPPER MODEL-RAMP METERING
MODEL AND SOLUTION
Model establishment
The traffic capacity of the un-congested sections should be
used sufficiently
 The expected queuing length of the ramp should be metered
 is a constant
Expected density of each section is
key density is
Expressway's traffic capacity reaches its
maximum
29
Objectives:
Ensure the un-congested sections are used at their
maximum traffic capacity
Control the queuing length of the ramp as short as possible.
Therefore, a function is set considering this parameters
Model establishment (Contd..)
 Equation structure the prediction control model
30
SOLUTION
The output of the lower model is transferred to the upper
model
 For a wide range of input values, the output are obtained
 The final outputs are the ramp metering rate and the real
time traffic flow information after the ramp controlling the
expressway
This is the response of the neural network

A CASE STUDY ON SUN-YAT-SEN FREEWAY
ON-RAMP CONTROL
Study conducted by Hsian Chen Lin in 1999
 Compared adaptive neural network ramp system with
pretimed system
 Pre-timed ramp control principally applied Sun-Yat-Sen
freeway in Taiwan
Suits in low and steady flow rather than high and rapid
changed flow
 No effect when traffic volume approach capacity in some
special festival in Taiwan
32
Average car speed dropped <40 km/hr
 When all drivers who work far from their hometown want
go home on importance continuous holidays
Study area (Hsiang-chen Lin,1999)
33
There are two lanes in freeway. Total on-ramp's length 360 m
 Three types flow is used to analysis their different effect
under pretimed and adaptive control.
 Flow from 29 to 3l Jan -very high with total flow equal
to 130218 vehicle/day in main lanes
 Flow in24 January 28 Jan and 1 Feb -middle
The others are low -total flow less than 12000
vehicle/day
34
Metering rate of adaptive ramp control calculated
according to predicted traffic flows
 Based on historical traffic flow
Changes immediately when traffic situation
changes
35
Table shows adaptive control method superior to
pretimed control
According to total delays at ramp and the number of vehicles
giving up entering freeway.
Source: Hsiang-chen Lin(1999)
Scenarios of input data
36
RESULT
Superior to pretimed ramp control
The performance improves at least 69.38%
Another benefit is all vehicles can enter freeway under
adaptive control model
But this system is more expensive than pretimed system
in facilities
37
CONCLUSION
The delay produced on the ramp is reduced
Queuing length is small
Equitableness for each driver is considered in the
double-layer ramp-metering model
