Abstract

With the increase of traffic flow, in order to improve capacity, the shape of the toll plaza, the size of the design has become particularly important, the toll plaza that can improve the capacity of toll booths, ease the congestion situation and reduce the traffic accident is more and more favored by builders. In response to the traffic situation of the New Jersey Expressway, we analyze the existing toll plaza, and on the basis of it, we design the shape of the toll plaza by establishing the mathematical model. In this model, we consider the three important factors of accident prevention, throughput and cost. We establish the safety evaluation model, the capacity model and the cost minimization model, and finally determine the shape and size of the toll plaza.Of course, we also conducted a simulation of the cellular automata and sensitivity analysis of our model to enhance the applicability of the model. Inevitably, there are many shortcomings in our model, in the end, we propose areas for improvement and future prospects.
