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 کاملPassing Lane Effectiveness on Two-Lane Roads
IN T R O D U C T IO N A passing lane is an added lane provided in one or both directions of travel on a conventional tw o-lane highw ay to im prove passing oppo r tunities. T his definition includes passing lanes in level or rolling terra in , clim bing lanes on grades, and short four-lane sections. T he length of the added lane can vary from 1,000 feet as m uch as 3 miles. Figure 1 illustrate...
متن کاملTwo Low-Cost Safety Concepts for Two-Way STOP-Controlled, Rural Intersections on High-Speed Two-Lane, Two-Way Roadways
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety has identified intersections as one of its safety focus areas. As part of the FHWA efforts to reduce intersection crashes and the related injuries and fatalities, two concepts have been identified: (1) rumble strips on outside shoulders and in a painted yellow median island on major road approaches and (2) channelizing separator islands...
متن کاملPredicting Lane Position for Roadway Departure Prevention
In this paper, we describe a preliminary analysis of driver data collected during a recently completed small scale data collection effort. We will demonstrate that a popular method for computing Time To Lane Crossing (TLC) does not always accurately predict the driver's actual TLC. We will then use a memory based learning approach to show why this is. Finally, we will present results in predict...
متن کاملWrong Roadway Detection for Multi-lane Roads
The paper contributes to the detection of driving on the wrong side of the road by addressing in particular multi-lane road situations. We suggest a solution using video data of a single camera only for identifying the current lane of the ego-vehicle. GPS data are used for knowing defined constraints on driving directions for the current road.
