Transportation research record, 2004•journals.sagepub.comDespite the well-recognized fact that proper control of traffic speed can contribute to both a
reduction in accidents and improved efficiency of highway operations, most existing speed-
control strategies implemented in Europe and the United States tend to aim only at
improving traffic safety. An on-line algorithm for variable speed-limit control at highway work
zones is presented that can take full advantage of its dynamic functions and concurrently
achieve the objectives of throughput maximization and accident minimization.
