Abstract A coordinated, feedback ramp metering strategy is derived for the southern part of Boulevard Périphérique in Paris. The derivation is based on well-known methods of Automatic Control theory (Linear Quadratic Optimisation) using a linearized version of a nonlinear macroscopic traffic flow model presented in a preceding paper. Efficiency of the presented strategy is tested and compared to no control, fixed-time control, and local feedback control on the basis of simulation investigations.
