Abstract

Based on Cellular Automaton (CA) and Monte Carlo method, this paper constructs a model to discuss the problem of merging after toll, and designs 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. Then we set up a series of indicators to analyze the toll plaza, such as Danger Index, Efficiency Index and cost. Fourth, we test our model via heavy traffic and autonomous (self-driving) vehicles. As the inflow probability of the vehicle increases, the vehicles slow down gradually but the speed is greater than zero. In summary, our model is powerful and reliable for simulating vehicles' merging after roll, coinciding with real statistics and suiting the dynamic and sophisticated features of merging process.
