摘要：
This research aimed to evaluate the traffic efficiency of expressway toll plaza and propose the rationalized lanes configuration scheme due to the increase of the ETC utilization rate. Based on the static layout and toll data of Fumin, a ramp toll station in Shenzhen Jihe expressway, the traffic behavior model in toll plaza, including carfollowing and lane- changing model, was established. The micro- simulation platform of traffic operation of the toll plaza was developed. According to the traffic status variation during non-peak and peak hour, 80 groups of simulation schemes were designed, taking ETC utilization rates and the number of lanes into consideration. The traffic efficiency under different schemes was comprehensively evaluated. The comparison with the actual results demonstrates that the simulation platform errors of traffic volume for usual and rush hour were only 3.46% and 6.45%, providing an accurate and reliable experimental platform for the simulation analysis of toll plaza lane configuration. In the future, when the ETC utilization rate is increased up to 90%, the optimal lane configuration scheme for Fumin is 4 ETC lanes plus 5 ETC/MTC mixed lanes. During rush hour, the average delay per vehicle could be conduced to 2.93 s • veh-1, a 95 percent reduction from the current 60.23 s • veh-1. The toll plaza's rationalized lanes configuration should be conducted by combining traffic volume, traffic composition, ETC utilization rate. It provides crucial technical support for the scientific design and operation of the toll plaza. Copyright © 2021 by Science Press.
