		The toll station had 20 tollbooths: 10 were occupied by individuals who collected tolls from traffic that traveled from Taipei City to Taipei County (i.e., north to south), and the remaining 10 booths were occupied by workers who collected tolls from traffic that flowed south to north.

		We initially determined average lane-specific traffic density to be the number of vehicles/hr that traveled through the toll-lane areas, and we further distinguished the vehicles as buses/trucks or passenger cars.
