Abstract: Perimeter control policies for urban regions with Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) modeling have been presented in previous works. The control policies might meter the number of transferring vehicles from one region to another, resulting in queueing vehicles at regional boundaries. Concentrated vehicles at boundaries might affect the existence of well-defined MFDs. Most previous works neglect the effect of the boundary concentrated vehicles on the traffic flow dynamics, and do not explicitly consider their effect on the perimeter control policy.
