Description

Short technical description: Micro simulation model for capacity analysis of toll stations. The model was developed and implemented 1998-2000 for the toll station of the Öresund link between Sweden and Denmark. It is based on discrete events and facilitates a very detailed description of the particular site with assumptions on physical design as well as driver behaviour. The output includes waiting time in queue, proportion of drivers with queue time etc. Results are also shown by graphical animation. Unique features: It was concluded in 1998 that no similar models could be found on the market. Latest research: Design and planning for the Öresund toll station 1998-2000. Relevant standards: Financing of the facility: Financed by the Öresund link operator.
