| 摘要： | Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) technology locally known as M-Tag was recently deployed at the three (Fort McHenry Tunnel, Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, and Francis Scott Key Bridge) toll plazas in the Baltimore Metropolitan Area. The objectives of the study described here are twofold. First, use a microscopic simulation-model to simulate the existing traffic situations at the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel toll plaza. Observed field data were used to validate the simulation results. Second, capture the benefits inherent in the use of ETC technology by undertaking a comparative analysis of pre-ETC and post-ETC scenarios for the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel toll plaza. The primary measures of effectiveness (MOE) used are (1) increased throughput and hence reduced travel time at the toll plaza, and (2) reduced mobile emissions (hydrocarbon [HC], carbon monoxide [CO], and nitrogen oxide [NOx]). It was determined from the simulation that for the current M- Tag deployment level of approximately 20%, the overall average travel speed has been increased by approximately 56%, and the mobile emissions rates have been decreased by up to 28% at the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel toll plaza. |
