Highways and freeways usually experience severe traffic congestion due to the presence of toll plazas which is considered as a bottleneck. In recent years, traffic engineers around the world have utilised microscopic traffic simulation models as tools to evaluate the performance of selected freeway facilities based on known traffic pattern data. This study attempts to analyse the performance of toll plaza by utilizing the microscopic traffic simulation software VISSIM 6.0, based on two different output measures, namely: average queue length and average delay time. At the selected toll plaza, data are collected at toll booths for all three modes of payments, which are: cash mode, Touch n Go, and Smart TAG. Therefore, this study aims to build a microscopic traffic simulation model that is capable of analysing the behaviour of vehicles at toll plaza based on the mentioned output measures for each mode of payment and also to determine the type of payment mode that has the most significant impact on the overall performance of toll plazas and ultimately, to understand the causes of congestion at toll plaza.
