Modelling Automobile Drivers’ toll-lane Choice Behaviour at a Toll Plaza Using Mixed Logit Model
Abstract It is a common observation that toll plazas on highways act as bottlenecks as the vehicles need to stop or at least slow down to pay the toll. In order to improve the design of toll plazas one needs to understand and analyse the queuing...
