Abstract
This work presents a stochastic simulation model and experimentation for a toll system developed for a highly concurred highway toll in Venezuela, followed by a discussion of performance and economic indicators. Although mathematical models for resource problems have been developed, their use is not widespread, particularly in developing countries were toll systems are manually operated. The main objective of TollSim is to start building an infrastructure and infostructure to be used in a decision support system for management of traffic related issues in a technologically excluded region. The model was developed using an object‐oriented approach and implemented in MODSIM‐III, SIMGRAPHICSII and SIMDRAW.Keywords
