Managed Lane Facilities & Toll Pricing Models
DUPLICATE creates a new managed lane facility with the properties of the

lane facility No. in current network.

occupancy rate defined by vehicle type.
Since the vehicle occupancy rate is an integer value, it is calculated as
outlined below, for example:
