Multiobjective Optimization Design of Toll Plaza

Abstract

This paper mainly studies the optimization design of toll plaza, including the determination of the number of tollbooths and the design of the shape and size of the toll plaza. The optimization objectives are the construction cost of toll plaza, the throughput, and the accident rate. Through the analysis on the structure of toll plaza and the traffic flow, we determine the impact factors for optimization targets and select the number of tollbooths, the length of entrance and exit queue area, and the ingress and egress angles as decision variables and then build the function relationship between construction cost, accident rate, throughput, and decision variables. Then based on those functions to build the mathematical programming model, so as to get the optimal design plan.

Toll Operations: User Perception and Satisfaction

“…User satisfaction in toll booth efficiency can be assessed through various means, including evaluating the speed of toll transactions, wait times, and the overall experience of users during their interaction with toll booth operators. Understanding and measuring user satisfaction in these aspects can provide valuable insights into areas for improvement and optimization in toll operations [7] When assessing user satisfaction in toll booth efficiency, it is essential to consider various factors. Firstly, the efficiency of toll booth operations itself is a crucial determinant of user satisfaction.…”
