Modeling a separate route course for the toll route and toll-free route
Once the toll route (green) and the toll-free route (red) have been inserted, their route courses are identical by default up to the destination section. You can let one of these two routes run along a different link sequence that starts at the same managed lanes routing decision and ends at the common destination section. This allows you, for example, to model the section of a highway that has a toll lane parallel to a toll-free lane.
1. Ensure that the managed lanes routing decision is located upstream of the branching of the desired toll route and toll-free route.
2. Ensure that the destination section is located downstream of where the link sequences of the toll-free and toll-bearing routes are merged.
That can also be on a ramp or downstream of a ramp where the vehicle can switch from the toll route to the toll-free route.
3. Click a destination section, and keep the mouse button pressed.
4. Hold down the mouse button and move the destination section to the link sequence via which the route is to run.
The new route course is highlighted in color.
5. Release the mouse button.
The following window opens: Shall route 1 be adjusted to decision <Number> as shown?.
6. Select the desired entry.
Button | Description |
---|---|
Yes |
Only route 1 (by default the toll route) of the two routes of the managed lanes routing decision Decision <Number> is moved to the new link sequence. If this route is the toll route, the toll-free route continues to run on the original link sequence. |
Yes (all) |
Toll-free route and toll route will be moved to the new link sequence. |
No |
Only route 2 (by default the toll-free route) of the two routes of the managed lanes routing decision Decision <Number> is moved to the new link sequence. If this route is the toll-free route, the toll route continues to run on the original link sequence. |
No (all) |
Both the toll-free route and toll route remain on their original course. |
