Study of New Toll Station Based on VISSM
In order to effectively alleviate the problem of traffic congestion, this paper suggests a new type of toll station that changes the layout of the entrance. It is innovative in how it combines single tollbooth and tandem tollbooth layouts. The paper also researches and analyzes tollbooth security and operations. The improvements in traffic capacity, land economy and energy consumption make it clear that the new toll station layout is superior to the traditional layout.
