A prospective way of ramp metering using vehicle infrastructure integration system

As Bluetooth and navigation devices are widely used on latest produced vehicles, vehicle infrastructure integration (VII) system in Intelligent Transport System (ITS) has been given flourishing expectation because of its detection accuracy and multiple-information collecting capability. This paper suggests an ideal ITS environment where all vehicles are equipped with certain VII device and all vehicles can be recognized by ITS which is capable of memorizing all vehicles’ route choices. This paper proposed an innovative hypothetical theory and algorithm of coordinated ramp metering which takes the advantage of VII system. This algorithm integrates vehicle routing information with coordinated ramp metering by reading and processing the vehicles’ average travel distance along the freeway. Comparison between new coordinated ramp metering algorithm and traditional local ramp metering strategy has been made and travel time saving is observed in new ramp metering algorithm.
