Analysis on Traffic Characteristics of Passenger Cars with more than 7 Seats on Megacity's Freeway Network Using ETC Data

Article Preview

Abstract:

The traffic characteristics of passenger cars with more than 7 seats are directly related to the operation status of megacitys freeway network. With applying 3-months ETC data, this paper aims to propose methods for traffic characteristics analysis of passenger cars with more than 7 seats. Moreover, based on the macroscopic indexes calculation such as travels per day, penetration of local vehicles, average speed and average driving distance, the traffic characteristics of these vehicles are analyzed respectively in holidays, weekends and working days.
