A freeway traffic control problem is considered. Control is exerted by means of the variable speed signs of the Dutch Motorway Control and Signalling System. After determining the precise effect of the advisory speed signals on driver behavior, models for traffic in one section of a freeway are presented and their stability properties investigated. Based on these models, hysteresis type control policies are proposed that optimize the throughput of the freeway section and succeed in postponing congestion. The latter is illustrated by means of simulations.
