Currently, the world is suffering from daily recurrent traffic congestion. Traffic engineers have developed the ATDM control system as a countermeasure to mitigate the problem of traffic congestion using various active control measures. In 2011, the City of Edmonton initiated a study to develop an integrated active traffic control system targeted at improving the efficiency of traffic operations on a major freeway corridor around Edmonton. The Dynamic Traffic Analysis and Management (DynaTAM) control system has been designed to implement the integrated control through Ramp Metering (RM) and Variable Speed Limit (VSL). DynaTAM is a Model Predictive Control (MPC)-based, pro-active traffic control system. In this paper, the control framework of DynaTAM is presented in brief.
