Abstract

Based on Cellular Automaton and Monte Carlo method, this paper constructs a model to discuss the problem of merging after toll, and redesigns the shape, size, and merging pattern of the toll area. Firstly, the movement of the vehicle is broken down into three stages to establish the corresponding sub-models: M / M / n queuing model, vehicle-following model as well as merging model. Then a series of indicators are set up to analyze the toll plaza, such as Danger Index and Efficiency Index. Afterwards, the CA is taken to simulate traffic flow and the result of simulation is listed in the table 1. By changing the area of entrance and exit, we can draw a conclusion that: safety and efficiency are always negatively related to costs. With the increase of area, the throughput and Efficiency Index will increase at the same time while Danger Index decreases by contraries.
