Sažetak

Ramp metering is used to improve the Level of service of highways containing a higher number off on- and off-ramps with traffic load at peak hours. An overview of existing Ramp metering strategies, from early simple approaches to the recent more sophisticated control designs is given in this paper. A description of various case studies of implemented Ramp metering systems in EU is included in the overview. Most of implementation has been custom made to fulfill respective demands on reducing congestion, average travel time, and increasing traffic safety. Some EU research projects and initiatives with significant influence on the EU Ramp metering approach are described, also. An analysis of Ramp metering strategies on a section of the Zagreb bypass is given regarding implementation possibilities to improve its Level of Service and traffic safety.
