Developing Highway Capacity Manual Capacity Adjustment Factors for Connected and Automated Traffic on Roundabouts

چکیده
Connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) are expected to transform future transportation systems. Over time, these might enhance traffic efficiency safety, especially at urban intersections. Therefore, it is essential make adaptations the analysis models that currently designed for human-driven only. This paper aims assess impact of CAVs on entry capacity roundabouts develop an approach adjust values calculated by Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) planning level analysis. Both single- double-lane studied under various CAV market penetration rates conflict flow in this paper. A specific application, cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC), evaluated study because enhances car-following behavior roundabout entrance has best potential improving capacity. The simulation results indicate introduction can substantially improve as rate increases both roundabouts. improvement more significant single-lane than roundabout. capacities different compared with estimated from base HCM acquire adjustment factors. Finally, a table factors provided implementation models.

Three-Phase Traffic Theory and Highway Capacity
Hypotheses and some results of the three-phase traffic theory by the author are compared with results of the fundamental diagram approach to traffic flow theory. A critical discussion of model results about congested pattern features which have been derived within the fundamental diagram approach to traffic flow theory and modelling is made. The empirical basis of the three-phase traffic theory...
متن کاملPartial Elliptical Two-Regime Speed-Flow Traffic Model Based on the Highway Capacity Manual
There have been several attempts to describe traffic flow behaviour by modelling the relationship between the main variables describing traffic such as speed, flow and density. Some of these models are based on simplistic assumptions and therefore, they are far from being accurate in representing the whole range of traffic conditions (e.g. from free flowing to congested situations). This paper ...

T his paper evaluates the entrance capacity and queueing delay for Automated Highway Systems through use of simulations and analytical modeling. Queueing statistics are also used to determine the sustainable capacity of alternative concepts, taking trip length distribution and spacing between ramps into consideration. Based on safety-spacing head ways (produced in a separate analysis), the mos...
متن کاملCapacity Analysis of Traffic Flow Over a Single-Lane Automated Highway System
We calculate bounds on per-lane Automated Highway System (AHS) capacity as a function of vehicle capabilities and control system information structure. We assume that the AHS lane is dedicated for use by fully automated vehicles. Capacity is constrained by the minimum inter-vehicle separation necessary for safe operation. A methodology for deriving the safe minimum inter-vehicle separation for ...
متن کاملModeling and Calibrating Capacity of Large Roundabouts
Roundabout models, available in the literature widely, vary between one method and another. Majority of the models are solely based on circulating fl ow to estimate capacity. The relationship between maximum entry fl ow of large dual and triple lane roundabouts and their geometric and traffi c characteristics is investigated here for saturated fl ow condition using multivariate analysis. The de...
