A Transfer Learning Framework for Proactive Ramp Metering Performance Assessment

Understand

Transportation agencies need to assess ramp metering performance when deploying or expanding a ramp metering system.

• The evaluation of a ramp metering strategy is primarily centered around examining its impact on freeway traffic mobility.
• One way these effects can be explored is by comparing traffic states, such as the speed before and after the ramp metering strategy has been altered.
• Predicting freeway traffic states for the after scenarios following the implementation of a new ramp metering control strategy could offer valuable insights into the potential effectiveness of the target strategy.
