A Method of Improving the Traffic Efficiency of Expressway Toll Stations

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for enhancing highway toll station passage efficiency. Firstly driving vehicles input a preset destination at each entrance of highway, then a master console calculates the distance s from the departing point of the vehicles to the destination, then driving time t of reaching the destination of the vehicles is calculated according to average speed v of the vehicles, finally time t2 of reaching the destination is obtained by adding the driving time t and initial time t1 and one of the number of the vehicles of the time of reaching the destination is added so that the time of reaching the destination of the vehicles of each entrance of highway is obtained; then the number of the vehicles of the time of reaching the destination is summarized so that the number of vehicles entering a destination toll station within unit period of time is calculated; and then the master console transmits a toll collection window opening suggestion to the client side of the destination toll station according to the number of the vehicles reaching each destination toll station to prompt the toll station to open the corresponding number of windows for toll collection within the period of time so that speed of vehicle passage can be enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of expressway toll collection systems, in particular to a method for improving the traffic efficiency of expressway toll stations.

Problems solved by technology

There are generally toll stations on the main expressway in my country. In order to speed up the passage, the entrance of the toll station of the expressway is equipped with an ETC channel, which adopts the method of automatic card withdrawal and does not require staff, but the exit of the toll station still requires staff to collect fees. Operation, when the flow of people is small, the staff of the toll station are in the idle mode. When the flow of people is large, if the toll window is opened too little, it will cause the problem of vehicle congestion
