In this context, the traffic flow data at a particular highway intersection have been analyzed to determine the pattern of the traffic. Then, the traffic model has been built in a traffic micro-simulation software and calibrated with the field data. The foci of the study are to measure the efficiency of the dynamic traffic control strategies and to compare it with the uncontrolled case considering various performance indicators such as total travel time, average delay time per vehicle, and average number of stops per vehicle. For the dynamic ramp metering strategies, the ALINEA (Asservissement Lineaire d\u2019Entree Autoroutiere - French for Linear Utilization for Highway Entrances) control algorithm is implemented with different fixed-time cycle lengths. It has been observed that various ramp metering implementations decreased the average delay time per vehicle up to 30%. The dynamic speed limit control strategies are set according to the occupancy rates that are measured at the bottleneck downstream. The examined speed limit control strategies decreased the average delay time per vehicle to around 7%. The results also revealed that the implemented dynamic traffic control strategies help alleviate congestion by increasing the capacity of the bottleneck section.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13638-015-0287-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,5]],"date-time":"2015-03-05T20:30:50Z","timestamp":1425587450000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["RETRACTED ARTICLE: Efficiency analysis of the dynamic traffic control for an urban highway"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Ali Sercan","family":"Kesten","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Murat","family":"Erg\u00fcn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"287_CR1","first-page":"58","volume":"1320","author":"M Papageorgiou","year":"1991","unstructured":"M Papageorgiou, H Hadj-Salem, JM Blosseville, ALINEA: a local feedback control law for on-ramp metering.
