AI Technical Summary
In icy and snowy weather, de-icing equipment may conflict with other vehicles when making U-turns at toll stations, leading to traffic accidents and low traffic efficiency.
By optimizing the geometric layout of toll stations, setting staggered exit and entrance toll islands, and installing dedicated U-turn openings and barriers on the median strip, combined with a logic control center and vehicle recognition module, safe and efficient U-turn operations for snow and ice removal equipment can be achieved.
While ensuring safety, the efficiency of snow and ice removal equipment turning around and the passage of other vehicles has been improved, conflicts have been avoided, operation time has been shortened, and the smooth flow and safety of highways have been enhanced.
