Research on collaborative control strategy for proactive traffic flow restriction at electronic toll collection station
Expressway electronic toll collection station currently faces significant congestion challenges,adversely affecting transit experience and efficiency of users.This paper takes the highland system composed of the expressway main line,toll stations and toll station ground connection intersections as the research object.Aiming at the entrance scenarios of toll stations,the paper addresses the decrease in mainline traffic capacity due to the merging traffic from entrance ramps and the issues of queue spillover caused by traffic accidents or construction at entrance ramps.Utilizing signal control at the connecting junctions of toll stations as a traffic interception method,an optimized collaborative control strategy for proactive flow restriction at toll station entrances is proposed,which maximizes the efficiency of mainline traffic on highways and prevent congestion and queue blockages at toll station entrances and their connecting junctions.
