Popis: Traffic congestion can be reduced by traffic control. Individual traffic control gives the largest range of possibilities to control traffic. However, having more possibilities to intervene also raises the question what is the best process to control. This paper first explores the possibilities to intervene in the traffic processes. Then, the paper lists the best possibilities to alleviate traffic congestion based on insights from traffic flow theory. It is discussed which measures are best to take in which conditions, taking into account that drivers can be advised on headway, speed or lane. The paper also shows the structure and the elements required to calculate the optimal advice. Finally, the paper shows what, qualitatively, are expected to be the best control strategies for a variety of traffic conditions
