Abstract

The barrier toll is a crucial part of a freeway. The bottleneck of a freeway about safety and throughput is usually the fan-in area. In this paper, we put forward the merging model of barrier tolls (MBT) based on cellular automaton considering various factors which influence the merging vehicles. we analyze the influencing factors of going straightly and changing lanes in fan-in area to determine the criteria of going straightly(update the site, vary speed, record track), the criteria of changing lanes(changing-lane condition, update the site, keep speed, record track), and release criteria(release randomly, interval time).The model adopts dynamic simulative emulation and transfers continuous problem into discrete system. When the number of lanes and throughput are given, our model can obtain a optimal solution of the fan-in area.
