DRIVE project (V 1035) : Christiane : motorway traffic flow monitoring and control : to be included in deliverable number 7b : a software prototype for isolated ramp-metering

It is the aim of the ramp metering part of the DRIVE project to use the existing expertise to identify the applicability of existing approaches. Field trials should lead to insight in the range of conditions over which approaches are viable, the limits of the applicability of isolated control, and possibly lead to motorway traffic flow control improvements. This document is a continuation of deliverable 7a and discusses the implementation of the Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) and ALINEA strategy in a software prototype. The prototype is developed in the computer program FLEXSYT. Therefore the program FLEXSYT is discussed first and then the software prototype of a ramp-metering installation is developed.
