Say s contains your string:

hash = {}   
s.split("&").each do |key_value|
  key, value = key_value.split("=")
  hash[key.to_sym] = value
end
hash.to_json

    "page_length"=>"50",
    "exclude_vehicle_category"=>"[]",
    "toll_non_toll"=>"false",
    "mode"=>"\"detail_state_mileage_report\"",
    "scope_kind"=>"\"enterprise_group\"",
    "scope_value"=>"4317",
    "scope_values"=>"{\"enterprise_group\": 4317}",
    "start_date"=>"{\"snap_unit\": \"day\", \"snap_direction\": \"beginning\"}",
    "end_date"=>"{}",
