摘要: Information feedback strategies can influence the traffic efficiency of intelligent traffic systems greatly. Based on the more practical symmetrical two-route scenario with one entrance and one exit, an improved Weighted Mean Velocity Feedback Strategy (WMVFS) is proposed, which is not sensitive to the precision of Global Position System (GPS) devices. The applicability of WMVFS to different weight factors, aggressive probabilities, densities of dynamic vehicles, and different two-route scenarios (symmetrical scenario and asymmetrical scenario with a speed limit bottleneck) is analyzed. Results show that WMVFS achieves the best performance compared with three other information feedback strategies when considering the traffic flux and stability.
