“…The simulation methods are often used to verify whether the capacity of a toll gate corresponds with the actual traffic demands, by which some reliable suggestions can be put forward [20]- [22]. Haughton et al quantified the benefits of freight companies and customs operations in the cross-border freight inspection process [20].…”

“…A direct way fit the increase in traffic demand is to reconstruct the existing toll plaza. In the case of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Zhong et al employed a theoretical formula to obtain the configurations of operated toll booths under varying traffic demands using the predicted traffic flow for future years [22].…”

In order to promote travel safety and efficiency, many management staff are engaged to provide service to avoid long queues. Those manpower demands unavoidably introduce overstaffing, which is a great waste during off-peak period. However, it is not easy to precisely forecast the traffic flow to better arrange road management manpower and eliminate queuing phenomenon. In this paper, vehicle flow is first predicted with high accuracy based on the historical multi-source traffic data. The traffic data are collected for one month to establish a forecasting model. The forecasted traffic flow is tested on the following week and shows that the hourly traffic flow can be predicted in high accuracy. Improved manpower planning strategy is proposed based on the predicted results for arranging working schedule correspondingly. The proposed method is tested on a randomly selected toll gate in a real scenario as an example. A manpower planning strategy is verified with scheduled number of operating toll lanes. The improved manpower planning shows that the proposed method effectively reduces manpower by 40% at the toll gate and saves 67.5 working hours in one week compared with the current schedule. The successful application of the manpower planning method can be extended to other toll gates and service plazas to save manpower for more efficient and intelligent operation manner.

The congestion of toll plaza seriously damages safety and smoothness of highway. In order to induce driver to reasonably choose charging channels, to improve the efficiency of toll station, and to relieve the congestion problem of highway toll plaza, this paper, considering drivers as the object of study and using evolutionary game approach, obtains two evolutionary stable strategies under different cost conditions by establishing game pay-off matrix, which can verify that there is equilibrium existing in the game of toll channel selection of drivers. Finally ， some specific measures are proposed to balance the distribution of traffic flow of the toll plazas. Study shows that mixed strategy is equilibrium of game; to refine the functional area of toll plaza, to arrange quantity of charging channel reasonably and to allocate the vehicles in weaving section rationally are beneficial to induce strategic choices of drivers to be near the equilibrium, which efficiently relieves the congestion of the toll plazas.
