ANATOLL, A SOFTWARE FOR SIMULATION AND PREDICTION OF QUEUES AT TOLL PLAZAS: CHARACTERISTICS AND EVALUATION

Prediction of queues at toll plazas can be used for short term management optimization as well as for investment planning. ANATOLL was developed by the Centre d'Etudes Techniques de l'Equipement de l'Ouest under a contract with ESCOTA motorway company and has been evaluated by ISIS on the toll plaza ANTIBES using real data. The paper describes the model used, the calibration and evaluation made, and the results obtained. Considerations are made about the strengths and weaknesses of such a tool according to the use made (on-line management or long-term planning).
