Abstract
Currently average daily traffic using Hi-pass has increased over 3 times that of 2008 and more than half of highway traffic now uses High-pass. At this juncture, reassessment on the overall operation of Hi-pass is required to improve the safety aspect of toll booths and the flow of traffic. Although existing Hi-pass operation manual presents the methods of alignment, they do not reflect actual forms of vehicles and do not properly take the safety of toll booth and flow of the traffic into consideration. In order to compensate these problems, this study classifies highway tollbooths into two categories of mainline type and interchange type, and establishes the standard of lane alignment by traffic conflict analysis based on the types divided according to geometric structure or environment around the tollbooths. In addition, traffic flows around the tollbooths were reflected with the stage to arrange Hi-pass lanes according to the volume of traffic on the lanes for Hi-pass.
