A Crowdsourcing Framework for Toll Plazas: Optimizing Delay at Toll Plazas

摘要

The aim of this paper is to propose an ideal and time saving method for vehicles to pass through toll plazas. Choosing the best tollbooth to move out of the toll plaza quickly, has become a tough task and is error prone. The proposed system uses crowdsourcing to maintain waiting time for each tollbooth, as a result travelers are provided with the best tollbooth in a toll plaza. This scheme reduces the waiting time in the queue, as a result, people can drive through toll plazas swiftly. Travelers passing the toll plaza act as the crowd that cooperate in choosing the best lane and help maintain the waiting time of each tollbooth and adjust queue parameters.
