ABSTRACT
In order to solve the problem of rainwater discharge in expressway service areas, low-impact
development (LID) facilities are arranged systematically in an expressway service area in China.
A storm rainwater management model is applied to simulate the hydrologic process so as to analyze
the influence of a bioretention area on rainfall runoff regulation under three LID situations: separate
bioretention, bioretention and permeable pavement in-series, and bioretention, permeable pavement, and
grass swales in-series. Based on the results, increasing the ratio of bioretention area to drainage area
increases the average values of runoff reduction rate, runoff peak reduction rate, and runoff peak delay
time under five types of rainfall. The results indicate that permeable pavement can significantly reduce
the hydraulic load of bioretention while grass swales have little effect. Under different rainfall levels, the
runoff reduction rate of the LID service area increases by 16.16–68.41%, the runoff peak reduction rate
increases by 49.31–59.07%, and the runoff peak delay time increases by up to 326 min compared with a
traditional service area.
