N2 - In recent years, there has been a noticeable trend to move from barrier toll plazas (hereinafter referred to as TP) to free flow technology, which allows users to pay toll road tolls without stopping. Nevertheless, a large number of toll road projects have been implemented to date, where toll collection is carried out at barrier TPs. In the current situation, it is common for toll road projects with a barrier type of toll collection system to include hybrid-type TPs, which allow toll collection both in the barrier mode, which is usual for users, and in the free flow mode, subject to further transition of the road to a barrier-free type of toll collection. Taking into account the design features of the TP zone, the issue of providing capacity at the hybrid-type TP for vehicles with different types of payment is relevant. The purpose of this study is to develop a simulation model (hereinafter referred to as SM) of hybrid-type TP by discrete-event simulation modeling method in AnyLogic software environment, analyze its capacity in barrier and mixed tolling modes under different SM parameters, as well as to develop practical recommendations that can be applied at different stages of project implementation.
