Abstract Ramp metering is a traffic management technique that reduces the congestion of Expressway by controlling vehicles entering the highway. It is widely used outside the country, and Korea is also operating in seven sites (Seoul Ring Expressway). Ramp metering has the advantage of reducing congestion of Expressway, but there are disadvantages, as queuing occurs because vehicles are waiting for ramp, and the ramp queue affects adjacent roads at rush hour. To solve this problem, we improved the ramp metering algorithm to reduce the metering rate more spaces on ramp and to increase the metering rate less spaces. In order to evaluate this, the combined evaluation index was used and it was found that the result satisfied the equity and efficiency at the same time.
