Abstract
This study makes verification analysis of a ramp metering control strategy using Macroscopic Funda-mental Diagram. One of the greatest advantages of the control is that the control can be operated without OD information. In this analysis, the driver's route choice behavior model is constructed, in which they choose their route, expressway or arterial. Then, applying a simulation model with the route choice model to an actual expressway network and an actual OD demand, the analysis has been done. The results show that operation of the control has benefits to improve the traffic states on expressway and to increase in-flow traffic. In other words, it is shown that the traffic flows not only on expressway but also on arterial could be improved by operating the proposed metering control.
