Reducing travelling time between two cities by opening new route is a common solution, but usually it do not calculate the effect of this change to the growth of some economic points along the path of the new route. In the case of highway the only possible points are the rest areas. People and their cars are represented by agents who are travel and back between the two cities like a swinging pendulum with their on characteristic periode. Each city has its own mass that attracts agents to orbit around them, such as workplace, market, information, customer, and other features. A person who lives at city A but work at city B has to travel every day throug the highway. The need of this person is changing with time. During the day he requires a workplace but during the night he need a home. Since city A provides mass in the form of home and city B provides it in the form of workplace, he should leave city A in the morning to orbit around city B until afternoon, and then leave city B to orbit around city A in the night. During orbit change between the two cities he can choose different path, which is chosen to be the highway in this work. Due to characteristics of each agent, such as level of daily planning, vehicle quality, health, weather, and other aspects, it can transit to a restarea at some position or not. During it transit economic transaction can be occured such as accessing toilette, filling gas to the car, buying snacks, or simply a pause. Characeristics of every agent can be generated using a hypothetical distribution and then used in the simulation. Every type of economy transaction will be weighted and then accumulated in each day to obtained daily income for an economic point. Best and worse schenarios can be modelled. Work day and holy day will also show differences. Homogeneity of agents will also has interesting influence.
