The Design of Toll Plaza

Highway is an important transportation infrastructure.In the article I use the target programming model to design a better toll plaza.Consider a toll highway having L lanes of travel in each direction and a barrier toll containing B tollbooths (B > L) in each direction.Meanwhile important considerations included in my model are the toll plaza area, the throughput (number of vehicles per hour passing the point where the end of the plaza joins the L outgoing traffic lanes) and the accident prevention.From my design, it can find that, when I assume L = 3, B = 8,the toll plaza area is 9780.32 square meter.
