Feedback Control Design for Coordinated Ramps Using Distributed Modeling

This chapter presents the feedback control design of a coordinated ramp metering problem where we use the distributed model of the ramp system. We show the stability properties of the closed-loop system that is obtained by the application of the feedback control laws on the ramp system. We verify the effectiveness of the feedback control law by running some simulation experiments using the designed feedback control law on the coordinated ramp system.
