Modeling Capacity of Through Movement at Signalized Intersection Affected by Short Left-Turn Bay under Different Signal Settings

The proposed models have the potential to serve as useful tools, for practicing transportation engineers, when determining the appropriate length of a left-turn bay with the consideration of spillback and blockage, and the adequate cycle length with a given bay length.

Evaluation of the Severity of Deadlock at a Signalized Intersection with Auxiliary Lanes Using Trajectory Data

Intersection channelization and signal timing are important for mitigating traffic congestion in the urban transportation system. Most existing studies fail to quantitively evaluate the severity of…

Impact of Turning Lane Storage Length and Turning Proportions on Throughput at Oversaturated Signalized Intersections

A microsimulation model of an oversaturated left-turn movement with varying storage lengths and turning proportions is used to establish a mathematical model of throughput as a function of the duration of green, storage length, and turning proportion and the model outcomes are compared against real-world data.

MODELLING AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF UNCOORDINATED PAIRED INTERSECTIONS WITH LEFT-TURN BAYS

Four optimization models are put forward for uncoordinated paired intersections with left-turn bays to optimally assign the temporal-spacial resources for paired intersections when left- turn bays need to be installed and coordinated signals do not needs to be considered.

Total Approach Capacity at Signalized Intersections with Shared and Short Lanes

An empirically calibrated theoretical model is presented for the estimation of total approach capacity at signalized intersections with shared and short lanes and accounts for the stochastic nature of traffic flow and the effect of queue blockage on the short turn lanes.

MODELLING FLARES AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL-CONTROLLED JUNCTIONS.

The increasing use of flares in design to increase capacity means that their effect must be modelled more accurately and the new techniques available for modelling need to be fully utilised.

EFFECTIVENESS OF ADDITIONAL LANES AT SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS

This article explores the issue of whether increasing the number of lanes at signalized intersections could prove to be a sustainable approach to satisfy traffic demand only if larger intersections…

Increasing the Capacity of Signalized Intersections with Separate Left-Turn Phases

Settings of short left-turn lane and signal phase sequence for isolated signalized intersections

AbstractAt signalized intersections, short left-turn lanes are often installed to improve capacity and level of service. However, the blockage or overflow of short left-turn lane often occurs when…

Traffic demand estimation for lane groups at signal-controlled intersections using travel times from video-imaging detectors

A new method for lane-based traffic demand estimation using travel times from video-imaging detectors that overcomes the following two shortcomings of loop-detector-based algorithms: the fact that the actual demand is unknown when detectors are located upstream from the stop lines within a short distance and the difficulty in calculating the ratio between streams in different lane groups.

Determining Lengths of Left-Turn Lanes at Signalized Intersections under Different Left-Turn Signal Schemes

An analytical procedure was developed to determine the lengths of left-turn lanes at signalized intersections. A large body of literature exists about this subject; however, most examine the case…

Modeling Left-Turn Blockage and Capacity at Signalized Intersection with Short Left-Turn Bay

A left-turn bay that does not have a sufficient length would be blocked by the adjacent through traffic. Left-turn vehicles can also spill back to block the through traffic when the left-turn demand…
