As the traffic infrastructure for collecting vehicle tolls, capacity of toll plaza determines service level entire highway. The a is highly correlated with its operating costs, especially in peak periods. In this paper, it assumed that competitive transportation system, residential area and workplace are connected by highway which forms bottleneck, parallel to mass transit line; commuters can c...

This paper examines the question of why some states impose tolls while others rely more heavily on fuel and other taxes. A model to predict the share of street and highway revenue from tolls is estimated as a function of the share of non-resident workers, the policies of neighbouring states, historical factors, and population. The more non-resident workers, the greater the likelihood of tolling...

In Indian four-lane express highway, millions of vehicles are travelling every day. Accidents are unfortunate and frequently occurring in these highways causing deaths, increase in death toll, and damage to infrastructure. A mechanism is required to avoid such road accidents at the maximum to reduce the death toll. An Emergency Situation Prediction Mechanism, a novel and proactive approach, is ...

The Intelligent Speed Adaptation in vehicles using GPS technology is a method of speed adaptation in vehicles based on its position on the highway. The position can be recognized using the GPS receiver. The main objective is to make the system simple. The Toll gates on the highway are equipped with a transmitter that transmits a very small data to the receiver system in the vehicle. The receive...

This paper deals with pricing and modal split in a competitive mass transit/highway system with heterogeneous commuters. Two groups of commuters that di€er in their disutility from travel time, schedule delay and transit crowding, select the transit or auto mode for traveling from a residential area to a workplace. We compare three pricing schemes: the marginal cost-based transit fare with no-t...
