The considered ARZ-type model, described by non-linear first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations, represents traffic flow involving both adaptive cruise control-equipped (ACC-equipped) vehicles and human-driven vehicles. The control inputs are time-gap settings for ACC-equipped vehicles that are updated based on a suitable event-triggering condition. For the linearized and transformed system (a 2 $\\times $ 2 linear hyperbolic system with in-domain control and dynamic boundary condition), we provide input-to-state stability estimates (in the sup-norm) with respect to actuation errors. Based on a small-gain approach, we design an appropriate triggering rule (yielding small-gain-based event triggering condition). We ensure the exponential stability in the sup-norm of the closed-loop system and Zeno-free behaviour. Numerical simulations illustrate the efficiency of the proposed control strategy in stabilizing traffic flow.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/imamci\/dnaf027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]],"date-time":"2025-09-02T11:50:39Z","timestamp":1756813839000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Event-triggered PDE-based control of freeway traffic flow with connected\/automated vehicles"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Xinyong","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Control Science and Engineering, Bohai University , Jinzhou, 121013 ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ.
