MovingBottleneck Matlab library

MovingBottleneck is an object oriented Matlab code for solving numerically a system coupling a first order traffic model and ODEs describing moving bottleneck trajectories in one space dimension, based on original ideas developed in [C. Chalons, M. L. Delle Monache, P. Goatin. A conservative scheme for non-classical solutions to a strongly coupled PDE-ODE problem. Interfaces and Free Boundaries : Mathematical Analysis, Computation and Applications, 2017, 19 (4), pp.553-570]. In particular, we use Godunov scheme to solve the PDE, with a specific flux correction at the moving bottleneck positions consisting in a conservative reconstruction of the jump discontinuity.
The code also allows for Model Predictive Control implementation. It has been used to produce results published in:

IGLOO Suite

IGLOO is a software suite for isogeometric simulations, relying on a NURBS-based Discontinuous-Galerkin method, towards a seamless CAD-analysis coupling.
It is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3 (code repository).

Tram-Opt platform

Tram-Opt is a prototype platform devoted to real-life testing and deployment of a novel traffic control Decision Support System (DSS) for road traffic management, including variable speed limits, ramp-metering and re-routing policies. This DSS is intended for public and private traffic managers to increase freeway network performances (e.g. congestion and pollution reduction)
