METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACTIVE CONTROL OF VARIABLE SPEED LIMITS ON HIGHWAYS

A method for active control of variable speed limits on highways includes: (a) a mixed traffic flow scenario considering driver individuality is constructed, and scenario parameters are set; (b) traffic state data for a merging road scenario is acquired; (c) an agent is trained using the traffic state data as state variables to obtain a speed limit control optimization model; diverse training scenarios are generated by Poisson distribution during training, an optimal speed limit value and an appropriate speed control location are selected within each control cycle T, and a moving bottleneck is generated using a moving bottleneck variable speed limit constructed based on connected and autonomous vehicles. A system for active control of variable speed limits on highways is further provided.
