This paper presents an evaluation of two typical situations of Microscopic Dynamic Traffic Management. Where Dynamic Traffic Management aims to more efficiently use existing road capacity by generic measures, Microscopic Dynamic Traffic Management anticipates suboptimal use of the available infrastructure by disturbing behavior of one or a few drivers. Using simulation, anticipation of slow predecessors in the same lane and anticipation of slow merging vehicles from an on-ramp are assessed on throughput, average travel time loss and traffic flow stability. The simulation results show positive effects, mainly on traffic flow stability, but also on throughput and travel time in the case of anticipating slow merging vehicles.
