| Περίληψη | The efficiency of freeway systems is often hindered by recurrent and non-recurrent congestion. The occurrence of these events is due not only to the high number of vehicles trying to use a shared infrastructure, but also by phenomena that temporarily deteriorate the capacity of the infrastructure itself. Among them, road accidents are considered as one of the primary causes of non-recurrent congestion. At the same time, several studies also identify traffic breakdowns as events leading to vehicle crashes. A specific goal of this research is to develop a global safety index that quantifies the expected number of crashes as a function of the current traffic state in the freeway system. Moreover, on the basis of this new index and the performance indicator generally adopted to evaluate the traffic delay, a coordinated ramp metering scheme is proposed jointly considering the reduction of travel times for the drivers and the improvement of safety in the freeway system. The control strategy is sought by defining a nonlinear optimal control problem with constrained control variables, solved by applying a specific gradient-based algorithm. The simulation analysis investigates the multi-objective nature of the problem assessing whether and to what extent the two components of the cost criterion are conflicting objectives. | en |
