    Examination of delay and travel time at highway toll booths using a micro simulation program: example of Northern Marmara Highway Kurnaköy
    (2022-04) Özdemir, Ümitcan; Gürsoy, Mustafa; Aksoy, Göker
    The aim of this study is to reveal that barrier toll booths are inefficient in terms of delay and travel time when compared to non-barrier toll booths. In our study, Kurnaköy toll booth, on the Northern Marmara Highway, was examined. The toll booth was modeled using the PTV Vissim micro simulation program. Currently, 8 toll booths are in active service and are operated with barriers. As an alternative to the current operation, 4 different operations were modeled: 8 toll booths without barriers, 10 toll booths without barriers, 12 toll booths without barriers and finally 4 toll booths with free passage system. The designed models were run under 3 different demand levels as low, medium and high, and compared using the PTV Vissim program. When the current barrier toll booth and the non-barrier operations were compared with medium demand, it was seen that there is a significant difference in delay. A bottleneck problem was also encountered due to the geometry of the barrier-free toll booth operation. The optimum operation was found by comparing the alternative operations.

    Investigation of the relationship between upstream and on-ramp flows at downstream capacity level on Istanbul freeway merges
    (Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2021-03-04) Aksoy, Göker; Öğüt, Kemal Selçuk
    Traffic congestion usually occurs at freeway merges due to the inequality of lane numbers at upstream and downstream. The freeway entry, defined as on-ramp, is the main cause of this irregularity and in order to clarify its effect, three freeway merges are investigated in this study with macroscopic flow parameters where a variety of geometric properties are present. In each merge, when the capacity flow is achieved at downstream, the on-ramp and upstream flows are determined and the relationship between upstream flow rate and ‘on-ramp ratio’, which is calculated by dividing the on ramp flow rate to the sum of on-ramp and upstream flow rates, is investigated. An inverse relationship is determined between total upstream flows (upstream flow plus on-ramp flow) with respect to on-ramp ratio. As a result, the merge with one lane drop and three-lanes at downstream seems to be least influenced type while the merge with two lanes drop and four lanes at downstream is the highest. For the former, 1% increase in on-ramp ratio causes a reduction of 20 pcu/h/lane on sum of total upstream flows while for the latter 26 pcu/h/lane. It is seen that the term on ramp ratio, can be quite useful variable for establishing capacities of freeway merges with the help of upstream and on-ramp traffic demands.
