Secondly, a traffic equilibrium distribution model is established under heterogeneous macro path conditions to minimize the travel time of traffic flow. To bring macro traffic flow solved by the above model to the projected into the actual network level, the logit route model is used to guide macro traffic flow to the micro-scale road network with the help of a simplified network. Finally, the SUMO simulation platform is employed to achieve the solution and verification of the hierarchical vehicle path control method.

This research introduces a novel dynamic control strategy, which includes the dynamic use of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) based Variable Speed Limit (VSL) integrated with the dynamic use of Hard Shoulder Running (HSR). Both VSL and HSR are proactively triggered to allow for necessary control measures to be taken to delay and possibly avoid the formation of a bottleneck. For traffic prediction, a modified METANET model is developed which takes into consideration the complex nature of driver’s behavior along with driver’s compliance, capacity drop and posted speed limits. The modified METANET model is shown to be more efficient than conventional macroscopic prediction models in detecting traffic congestions. This MPC based strategy was tested on a section of Deerfoot Trail, Calgary, Alberta using an exclusively developed integrated VISSIM-COM-MATLAB interface. The results from this study suggested that the integrated VSL and HSR control strategy results in a 21.09% increase in average speed and 33.44%. in vehicle-throughput. Furthermore, there was a noticeable reduction in the average travel time by 39.98% and in the total number of stops, by 32.43%.

We usually encounter the difficulties of many constraints, high complexity, and low efficiency when using the modeling method to solve the RGWCC problem. AM-RGWCC is developed in this study to overcome these challenges. The overall coordinated effect is assured by realizing the comprehensive optimization of phase sequence, offset, and common signal cycle. A step-by-step design of AM-RGWCC is established to reduce the complexity by analyzing the comprehensive influence of offset difference and bias distance on the green wave bandwidth. Finally, the case study shows that for a three-by-three road network, an ideal scheme can be obtained by AM-RGWCC to maximize the green wave bandwidth in one second. The green wave bandwidth of each intersection accounts for more than 84%. The results illustrate that the coordinated effect and solving efficiency are significantly improved.
