摘要: |
This study applies the full velocity difference (FVD) model to investigate commuters' driving process in a speed limit corridor with a toll station and explains how some factors affect the outflow of the traffic corridor system from the microscopic perspective. First, a micromodel system is constructed to depict the commute process in a traffic corridor with a toll station considering the speed limit. Second, a metastable state is defined in the paper for deriving the properties of commute problem conveniently. Finally, numerical tests are conducted to investigate some factors' effects on traffic properties. This study concludes that many traffic properties will be convergent when the commuter's number increases, and that the length of the road, the speed limit, and the service time of the toll station have effects on the time headway of the origin at the equilibrium state. The results show how the outflow forms in a speed-limit corridor with a toll station from the microscopic perspective and provide insights for policymaking. |
