Ramp metering has proven to be one of the most direct and effective control measures to overcome temporary disturbances on motorway traffic flow and to help to reach an improved utilization of motorway infrastructure. The ACCEZZ ramp metering algorithm is an adaptive control approach based on Fuzzy Logic. Results from its calibration and validation as well as its evaluation show how different control strategies can improve traffic conditions especially during the peak hours. The ramp metering software ACCEZZ including a GUI has been implemented at the demonstration site A94 in Munich since December 2005 and controls traffic at two consecutive on ramps successfully.
