To enhance the overall performance of operation of urban expressway, a ramp metering control strategy is proposed to delays and queues of vehicle platoon along off-ramp near the surface road. This control mode measures the real time traffic conditions at off ramps through the derived occupancy data and then optimizes the green time and length of cycle. A Vissim based simulation analysis is used to verify the effectiveness of this proposed control strategy using the field data of Zhuque Bridge and Taoyuan Bridge of South 2 Ring Road in Xi’an city. The simulation results show that the traffic flows can be allocated homogeneously, even during the peak hours and the average traveling time and platoon queue can be reduced approximate 5~7%, compared with the simulated findings of no control mode and fixed time control mode.
Key words: Occumpancy, off-ramp control, platoon queue, surface road metering, vissim simulation, ,
