Strategies for traffic flow control by using variable speed limits are introduced. An extended study of traffic flow theory as well as the exploration on driver behavior is carried out to analyze the reasons behind congestion. Based on these analyses, real-time control strategies of variable speed limits are developed for specific control objectives, i.e., reducing congestion and improving safety.
