The process of the vehicles pass through the toll plaza can be divided into two parts: entering system and departing system. Considering the reality that the highway traffic flow increases year by year, two models are proposed in this paper: (a) Find out the optimal nu...
متن کاملConcentrations of ultrafine particles at a highway toll collection booth and exposure implications for toll collectors.
Research regarding the magnitude of ultrafine particle levels at highway toll stations is limited. This study measured ambient concentrations of ultrafine particles at a highway toll station from October 30 to November 1 and November 5 to November 6, 2008. A scanning mobility particle sizer was used to measure ultrafine particle concentrations at a ticket/cash tollbooth. Levels of hourly averag...
