Multiobjective Optimization Design of Toll Plaza

Abstract EN

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.
