A Study to Setting Function of Queuing Discipline in Highway Tollgate

Abstract:

The traffic capacity of the highway toll station strongly affects the traffic capacity of the whole road, and restricts road traffic. In order to avoid the highway traffic jams and decline of traffic efficiency, this article studied highway tollgate queuing discipline, which is one of the main contributing factors, aiming to reduce waiting time and reduce traffic jams. Based on the study of arrival rate of vehicles during peak hours and normal time, waiting time, queue length and the average efficiency of the service for each tollgate, a reasonable and feasible mathematical model is proposed. In this model, the vehicle arrival data obeys the Poisson distribution and transformed service time obeys the exponential distribution. Related data was given and the hypothesis test was conduced. By comparing rules before and after the establishment of the highway queuing model, the author offered suggestions on highway construction.
