Estimation of Saturation Flow Rates at Signalized Intersections
The saturation flow rate is a fundamental parameter to measure the intersection capacity and time the traffic signals. However, it is revealed that traditional methods which are mainly developed using the average value of observed queue discharge headways to estimate the saturation headway might lead to underestimate saturation flow rate. The goal of this paper is to study the stochastic nature...
متن کاملOffsetting Opposing Left-Turn Lanes at Signalized Intersections: A Safety Assessment Case Study in Lincoln, Nebraska
Opposing left-turning vehicles at signalized intersections block each others’ view of oncoming traffic. The ability to see oncoming traffic is critical for safe negotiation of left-turns at intersections during a permitted left-turn phase of the signal. Offsetting of opposing left-turn lanes at signalized intersections improves sight distance for left-turning motorists. This paper reports on a ...
متن کاملRemarks on Groseclose’s Left Turn
In his recent book Left Turn, Tim Groseclose concludes that, in a world without media bias, the average American voter would be positioned at around 25 on a 0–100 scale, where 0 is a right-wing Republican and 100 is a left-wing Democrat. In this world, a balanced media might include some TV networks promoting the view that abortion should be illegal under all circumstances and subject to crimin...
متن کاملAnalysis of Operation and Safety Characteristicsof Lefi-Turn Lanes
Left-turn lanes at nonsignaiized intersections on two-lane interurban roads reduce the number of traffic interferences and increase the level of service for the through traffic. These improved conditions result from the opportunity turning vehicles have to decelerate and wait in a separate lane for a suitable crossing gap. Decreasing the number of interferences to through traffic reduces the nu...
متن کاملIdentification of Hazardous Situations using Kernel Density Estimation Method Based on Time to Collision, Case study: Left-turn on Unsignalized Intersection
The first step in improving traffic safety is identifying hazardous situations. Based on traffic accidents’ data, identifying hazardous situations in roads and the network is possible. However, in small areas such as intersections, especially in maneuvers resolution, identifying hazardous situations is impossible using accident’s data. In this paper, time-to-collision (TTC) as a traffic conflic...
