Examınatıon of Delay and Travel Tıme at Hıghway Toll Booths Usıng A Mıcro Sımulatıon Program: Example of Northern Marmara Hıghway Kurnaköy Toll Booth

The aim of this study is to reveal that barrier toll booths are inefficient in terms delay and travel time when compared non-barrier booths. In our study, Kurnaköy booth, on the Northern Marmara Highway, was examined. booth modeled using PTV Vissim micro simulation program. Currently, 8 active service operated with barriers. As an alternative current operation, 4 different operations were modeled: without barriers, 10 12 barriers finally free passage system. designed models run under 3 demand levels as low, medium high, When demand, it seen there a significant difference delay. A bottleneck problem also encountered due geometry barrier-free operation. optimum operation found by comparing operations.
