State-of-the-art Literature Review on Permissive/ Protected Left-turn Control
In spring 2010, the Illinois Department of Transportation initiated an areawide implementation to integrate the flashing yellow arrow as the display for the left-turn permissive interval at more than 100 intersections operating with protected/permissive left-turn (PPLT) control. Bradley University was retained to perform an effectiveness evaluation of the FYA at these locations. The purpose of ...
متن کاملDeveloping 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 کاملAnalyses of Traffic Parameters Related to Left Turn Gap Acceptance Using Ucf Driving Simulator
The UCF driving simulator, housed in the Center for Advanced Transportation Systems Simulation (CATSS) laboratory, is a high fidelity simulator with access to an expansive virtual driving environment. It consists of a Saturn cab, motion base, scenario editor, operators console and Application Programmer Interface (API) for reading real-time data. The data includes driver inputs, namely steering...
متن کاملOptimal Signal Control in Urban Road Networks with High Priority Congested Centers
Keeping the density of traffic flow and air pollution in an acceptable level and developing a good capacity for transit in the high priority areas of the city, is really a big deal in large and crowded cities. To address this problem, a new method of intersection signal optimization is presented in this paper. Based on network fundamental diagrams, an Internal–External Traffic Metering Strategy...
متن کاملGuidelines for the Use of Protected/ Permissive Lefi-Turn Phasing
T urning left across opposing traffic at a signalized intersection could result in a traffic accident, as well as create motorist delay. A solution to the left-turn problem may be the addition of a left-turn phase when certain guidelines are met.’ After a decision has been made to add a left-turn phase, one of two basic alternative phasing methods is commonly used. In Kentucky, the predominant ...
