Abstract
First, the characteristics of ramp setting in 4 groups and 8 types among terminal collector expressway, highway and urban expressway are compared with the case of Shanghai Hongqiao Terminal. Then, the relationship among flow, density and speed is studied through micro-simulation and cross-classification taking speed and ramp spacing as indicators. It is concluded that ramp setting influences the level of service of terminal collector expressway. It might provide references to other similar design and management projects.
