Abstract
AbstractThe service headway between two consecutive vehicles is more important factor for the operation of toll plaza. The service headway is mainly dependent on service time, traffic composition, vehicular characteristic, and driver’s behavior. The wide variation in service headway is observed at different toll plaza, and also, at same toll plaza the service headway has wide variation. The aim of this study is to get variation in service headway in mixed traffic condition and to create a model to define capacity based on service headway. The leader and follower wise service headway variation is considered because service headway mainly differs with it. In this study, the capacity model is developed by using harmonic mean of traffic composition at toll booth with respect to capacity of different same leader and same follower pair of vehicles. The outcomes of this study will be useful for toll plaza management to evaluate capacity of toll plaza. KeywordsService headwayToll plazaMixed trafficCapacityOperation and management
