Ramp Metering for a Distant Downstream Bottleneck Using Reinforcement Learning with Value Function Approximation by Yue Zhou, Kaan Ozbay, Pushkin Kachroo, Fan Zuo

“…This is because under the control of a conventional linear feedback-type ramp metering strategy, when metered traffic from the ramp arrive at the distant downstream bottleneck, the state of the bottleneck may have significantly changed from when it is sampled for computing the metering rate; due to the considerable time, these traffic will have to take to traverse the long distance between the ramp and the bottleneck. …”
