摘要：	Present study evaluates the Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) commonly known as FASTag in India considering service headway as a measure of effectiveness under mixed traffic conditions. Service headway is composed of processing time (includes reading the FASTag electronic chip a vehicle) and clearance time of the vehicle. Video graphic data were collected at three different toll plazas located on National Highways to capture the variability in traffic and human behaviour. The results showed that as compared to the Manual Toll Collection (MTC) system, the average service headway in FASTag lanes is reduced by 48.43 percent. Service headway is found minimum for Small Car (SC) and the maximum for Trailer. The leader-follower pair wise service headway variation is also analysed (SC as a leader and a follower), and it is observed that the average service headway is lowest for SC-SC pair and the highest for SC-Trailer pair. The effect of the presence of boom barrier at tollbooth is studied for all car conditions based on observed service headway. It is found that service headway is reduced by 39.81% when the boom barrier is removed. Level of service (LOS) thresholds are developed LOS A to LOS F with service headway as a measure of effectiveness using k-means clustering technique. It has been observed that the LOS improved from LOS 'D' to LOS 'B' when boom barrier was removed from the toll lane.
