    Title: Integrated control of motorway bottlenecks via flow metering and lane assignment

    Abstract: Lane-changing control is a promising feature that can be exploited for traffic management at bottleneck locations (e.g., lane-drops, on-ramp merges), where human drivers usually perform suboptimal lane-changes based on erroneous perceptions, which may trigger congestion. In the presence of a sufficient percentage of vehicles equipped with lane-changing automatic controllers or advisory systems, the overall throughput at the bottleneck location may be improved by execution of specific lane-changing commands dictated by a central decision maker.

    We address in this talk the problem of maximising the outflow at motorway bottlenecks via a combined exploitation of flow metering and lane-changing control, by proposing a novel integrated approach that allows to jointly exploit mainstream (or ramp) flow metering together with lane-changing control, while accounting for unmeasured demand flows and incomplete measurements. The proposed control strategy aims at regulating the mainstream flow, actuated, for example, via ramp metering or variable speed limits, and the lane assignment of vehicles upstream of a bottleneck location in order to maximise the bottleneck throughput. Moreover, the proposed strategy is capable of handling efficiently the case of mixed traffic, where manual vehicles may not receive or may not follow the prescribed lane-changing commands.

    Short Bio: Claudio Roncoli is Assistant Professor of Transportation Engineering at Aalto University, Finland. He completed his undergraduate (2006) and his MSc in Computer Science Engineering (2009) at University of Genova, Italy, where he also received his PhD degree in System monitoring and environmental risk management (2013).

    Claudio was a research assistant at University of Genova, Italy, from 2007 to 2013 and a visiting research assistant at Imperial College London, UK, in 2011 and 2012. From 2013 to 2016, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Technical University of Crete, Greece. Since October 2016, he has been Assistant Professor of Transportation Engineering at Aalto University, Finland.

    He is author of several papers published in international peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and contributed books. Claudio has been involved in several national and international research projects, also as principal investigator. His research interests include real-time traffic management; modelling, optimisation, and control of traffic systems with connected and automated vehicles, as well as smart mobility and intelligent transportation systems.
