Developing an Analytical Model and Simulation of The Contraflow Left-Turn Lane at Signalized Intersections
At some intersections, excessive queue lengths may spill out of the left-turn bay and block the through lanes, jeopardizing level of service for the entire intersection. One of the most effective plans recently presented by the researchers is the "Contraflow left-turn lane" (CLL) In this method, left-turn vehicles will use the nearest lane in the opposite direction in addition to the usual left...
متن کاملExposure to lateral collision in signalized intersections with protected left turn under different traffic control strategies.
This paper proposes an original definition of the exposure to lateral collision in signalized intersections and discusses the results of a real world experiment. This exposure is defined as the duration of situations where the stream that is given the right-of-way goes through the conflict zone while road users are waiting in the cross-traffic approach. This measure, obtained from video sensors...
متن کاملDelay at Signalized Intersection
An intersection is a shared space that is used by more than one approach at a time. A signalized intersection is one where the shared space is used alternatively by a fixed number of approaches for a pre defined time interval as per the phasing scheme used for the intersection. Delay and queuing process are the main characteristics of such an intersection which help in analyzing and designing t...
متن کاملA new control strategy for a signalized traffic intersection
A traffic control problem can be formulated as a decision-making problem for a stochastic dynamic system. Optimal traffic signal settings at intersections can minimize the vehicle delay time or the queue length at a stop line. In this paper, a new adaptive control strategy for signalized intersections is developed and tested by simulation. The simulation results show significant improvement ove...
متن کاملA Performance Evaluation of Bus Stop Placements near a Signalized Intersection by a Microscopic Traffic Simulation
In this paper, data from an on-site survey in Seoul, Korea and the microscopic traffic simulation are used to evaluate the performances of Bus Rapid Transit bus stops operated on different placements to their nearest traffic signals: far-side, and near-side. The influence of Bus Priority Signal Systems is also analyzed. The results reveal that a near-side bus stop performs better under the curr...
