Abstract :
In the main phase of the European research program PROMETHEUS, a series of innovative traffic information and control systems has been defined and specified. The present paper deals with PROMETHEUS systems supporting longitudinal traffic flow control. The traffic control strategies of these systems are described and their effects on the overall traffic conditions are depicted based on an ad-hoc assessment and a simulation case study.
