5.2 The influence of different proportions tollbooth
5.2.1 Model Simplify
According to the data in [14], there is no great difference between the influence of MTC tollbooths and the influence of exact-change tollbooths, thus we can omit that difference and only take MTC into consideration. In the rest part of the paper, we combine the MTC method and the exact-change method into cash method.

5.2.2 Result Analysis
(1) Sensitivity Analysis of Impact of Cellular Toll Station on Capacity
The capacity of cellular toll stations is more sensitive to the proportion of ETC lanes. There is a possible scenario that when decreasing the number of ETC lanes, the total time cost increases rapidly.

(2) The lower the proportion of cash charges, the smaller average transit time and average delay. (3) With the increase in the number of ETC lanes, the average number of vehicles per lane increased at the same time, improve the road utilization.

5.2不同比例收费站的影响 5.2.1模型简化
根据文献[14]的数据,MTC收费站的影响与精确更换收费站的影响没有太大的区别,因此我们可以忽略这个差异,只考虑MTC。 在本文的其余部分,我们将MTC方法和精确变化法结合起来,形成现金方法。
5.2.2结果分析
(1)蜂窝收费站对容量影响的敏感性分析
蜂窝收费站的容量对ETC车道比例更为敏感。 有一种可能的情况是,当减少ETC车道的数量时,总时间成本迅速增加。
(2)现金收费比例较低,平均通行时间较短,平均延误较小。
(3)随着ETC车道数量的增加,同时每车道平均车辆数量同时增加,提高了道路利用率。
