Queue analysis at toll plazas (inbound): A basic model for traffic systems towards a study of the effect on toll plazas with different arrival patterns

摘要

In studying traffic congestions at toll plazas, a basic model for traffic systems is introduced, which will hopefully contribute towards a longer term solution with the means for explaining and predicting congestions. It is targeted that this can then be followed by a more specific operations research approach, based on a simulation and queuing theory model, with a study on different arrival patterns, generating queue models, and constructing a Markov chain from the queuing systems, which would then provide a better insight towards a more sustainable solution.
