Cooperative adaptative cruise controls and variable speed limit are gaining notoriety in recent years to fulfill the aim of reducing traffic congestions. Improvements in the management of hazardous materials, combined with these technologies, can reduce damages caused by congestions, mitigate risks to human health, and avoid environmental leakage. Drivers' behaviors are directly influenced by human beings' different reactions. Therefore, the variance in traffic produces shockwaves, rippling traffic waves, and a reduction of the traffic flow capacity. This paper aims to present adaptative optimal control of nonlinear systems simulation as a tool to prove the effects of the predictions according to drivers' behavior. Furthermore, it supports the decision making of hazardous material traffic management. Traffic engineering and queuing theory are also addressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
