This paper reviews the methods used for the design of motorway network traffic control strategies. Various control strategies for the available control measures are discussed in terms of their design and their operating features, including ramp metering, route guidance, and link control. An example of an advanced coordinated ramp metering control strategy which is based on large-scale optimisation and is applied to the Amsterdam ring-road is presented.
