| Summary | Time-varying traffic demand, weigh-station operation, and the implementation of reversible lane operation often create complex traffic situations at a toll plaza. Because of this, simulation models are better able to capture the real operating characteristics of a toll plaza than analytical models. To facilitate the planning and design of toll plazas, however, it is useful to have an analytical model that allows planners and designers to screen quickly a large number of alternatives. In light of this need, this paper discusses the operating characteristics of freeway main-line toll plazas and describes the nature and the application of an analytical delay model derived from the output of Toll Plaza Simulation (TPS) model. |
