Title: Pause Rate of Motorway Service Area Base on Vehicle Continuous Travel Time
Abstract: Service areas (SA), which are used to safeguard the traffic safety, alleviate drivers' long-distance fatigue, guarantee the vehicles' maintains are important parts of the expressway. Pause rate of vehicles in SA is the key parameter for SA planning & design, it is significant effected by spaces between SA. Generally, pause rate is determined according experience and standard, which cannot quantitative consider of the influence of different spaces between SA. Since space between SA is very different in china, the influence of space must be considered. Base on detailed investigation of continuous travel time of vehicles on expressway, probability distribution of continuous travel time is established, then according to travel origin-destination of expressway, using statistic theory, a new pause rate calculation method is put forward, which can quantitative analysis the effect of spaces between SA. In the end, an example is given to introduce calculating process and to explain advantages of the new method.
