      Combined Variable Speed Limit and Lane Change Control for Highway Traffic 

      Zhang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2017)
      Variable speed limit (VSL) control of highway traffic is expected to improve traffic mobility, safety, and environment, especially during incidents. However, most existing VSL controllers show significant benefits in ...

      Combined Variable Speed Limit and Lane Change Control for Truck-Dominant Highway Segment 

      Zhang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
      Traffic demand of trucks is rapidly increasing on highway networks, which harms highway traffic mobility, safety and the environment. Variable speed limit (VSL) control is considered to be able to improve the traffic ...

      Environmental Impact of Combined Variable Speed Limit and Lane Change Control: A Comparison of MOVES and CMEM Model 

      Zhang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2016)
      Highway congestion is detrimental to traffic mobility and has negative impact on the environment. Variable speed limit (VSL) control is an approach that aims to reduce the impact of congestion by controlling the speed of ...

      New model for variable speed limits 

      Wang, Y.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2011)
      Traffic flow models play an irreplaceable role in the design and evaluation of variable speed limit (VSL) controllers. All existing models for incorporating VSL effects are based on modifications of the steady-state ...

      A simple roadway control system for freeway traffic 

      Zhang, J.; Chang, H.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2006)
      In this paper, a roadway control system that regulates variable speed limits along the freeway in addition to ramp metering is proposed to counteract traffic congestion and improve freeway efficiency. It treats the speed ...
