A widespread use of vehicle automation and communication systems (VACS) is expected in the next years. This may lead to improvements in traffic management because of the augmented possibilities of using VACS both as sensors and as actuators. To achieve this, appropriate studies, developing potential control strategies to exploit the VACS availability, are essential. This paper describes a model predictive control framework that can be used for the integrated and coordinated control of a motorway system, considering that vehicles are equipped with specific VACS. Microscopic simulation testing demonstrates the effectiveness and the computational feasibility of the proposed approach.
