Abstract:
It is common practice in most Canadian provinces to permit right turns on red at signalized intersections. At intersections with a high volume of pedestrian traffic, the opportunity to turn right on red may be critical to satisfy right turn demand. However, in order to properly time the traffic control signal display at a signalized intersection, the saturation flow rates for each lane or lane group of the intersection must be known. Six signalized intersections were studied in Kingston, Ontario, where saturation flow rates for right turns were measured as a function of conflicting through tra

Abstract:
The tremendous increase in vehicular navigation often witnessed daily has elicited constant and continuous traffic congestion at signalized road intersections. This study focuses on applying an artificial neural network trained by particle swarm optimization (ANN-PSO) to unravel the problem of traffic congestion. Traffic flow variables, such as the speed of vehicles on the road, number of different categories of vehicles, traffic density, time, and traffic volumes, were considered input and output variables for modelling traffic flow of non-autonomous vehicles at a signalized road intersection

Transport infrastructure has been playing an increasingly important role to the world economy. Intersections have been widely accepted as the bottlenecks for an urban transport system.

Traffic arrivals at signal intersection approaches is inherently stochastic.

It is to be noted that saturation flow is a functional measure of the intersection operation, which indicates the probable capacity if working in an ideal situation. However, determination of the saturation flow is a challenging task in developing countries like India where vehicles with diverse static and dynamic characteristics use the same carriageway. At the same time, it is influenced by several other factors. In this context, the present research is carried out to examine the effects of traffi

The problem of capacity increasing of arterial streets with controlled motion is investigated in this paper. For investigation, sections between intersections on the road network of Lviv city were chosen at their different length and roadway width with most saturated traffic. Methods of capacity increasing of arterial streets with controlled motion and factors that have impact on the capacity reduction are analyzed. Capacity of intersections at different volume-capacity ratios is determined. The distribution of average speed for sections between intersections of different length is built. It i

Abstract:
The deviations of straight-going traffic at irregular signalized intersections lead to obvious expansion characteristics of e-bikes. This situation increases the possibility of collisions between motor vehicles and e-bikes. In order to study the change of expansion degree of straight-going e-bike at irregular signalized intersections, the video trajectory extraction technology is used to obtain relevant data of e-bikes during green light release periods at irregular signalized intersections. In addition, we combined the flow and spacing characteristics of e-bikes and used a clustering method t

Abstract:
Conventional four-legged intersections are inefficient under heavy traffic requirements and are prone to congestion problems. Unconventional intersections with innovative designs allow for more efficient traffic operations and can increase the capacity of the intersection, in some cases. Common unconventional designs for four-legged intersections include the upstream signalized crossover intersection (USC), continuous flow intersection (CFI), and parallel flow intersection (PFI). At present, an increasing number of cities are using such unconventional designs to improve the performance of thei

Headway of vehicles during platoon dispersion at signalized intersection is one of the critical microscopic traffic characteristics in traffic flow theory. The distribution of the discharge headways of vehicles also has a significant impact on the traffic generation process in most of the microsimulation approaches. However, few studies have investigated the vehicle discharge headway for interrupted flow at signalized intersections under mixed traffic conditions. The present study uses data collected from 20 intersections in six cities for comprehensive analysis of discharge headway. A box-and

In the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), driver population factors are included to adjust for the impact of nonlocal drivers on freeway capacity. There are no such factors in the HCM to account for the possible change of capacity at signalized intersections caused by unfamiliar drivers in the traffic stream. The results obtained from a research study to develop driver population adjustment factors for capacity analysis of signalized intersections are summarized. Detailed procedures for quantifying driver population adjustment factors are presented. The factors were derived on the basis of data co

In Florida, the increased use of restrictive medians and directional median openings has generated many U-turns at signalized intersections. There is no widely accepted procedure for estimating the effects of U-turning vehicles on signalized intersection capacity. In the 2000 edition of the Highway Capacity Manual, U-turns are treated as left turns for estimation of saturation flow rates. However, the operational effects of U-turns and left turns are different. This study analyzed the effects of U-turning vehicles on the left-turn saturation flow rate.

Abstract:
Signalized urban intersections are key components of urban transportation networks. They are traditionally viewed and designed as primarily motorized traffic facilities, and thus their physical and operational designs have traditionally aimed at maximizing traffic throughput subject to constraints dictated by vehicular safety requirements and pedestrian crossing needs. Seen from a holistic viewpoint, urban intersections are hubs or effective centers of community activities of which traffic flow is only one. Those hubs have direct and indirect impacts on the overlapping traffic functionalities,

Sustainable management of traffic flows at signalized intersections is an important issue in terms of traffic engineering. The minimization of lost time, emission, fuel consumption, etc., can be achieved by optimization-based intersection management. In this study, a new traffic signal control model is developed for the management of three-leg signalized intersections. In the proposed model, signal timing and signal phasing are optimized simultaneously using Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm which is one of the population-based metaheuristic algorithms.

Delay is the principal parameter used to measure the performance of signalized intersections. Average stopped delay is the primary measure of effectiveness used in evaluating level of service at signalized intersections in the U.S. Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). In an urban street network, the traffic performance at contiguous intersections is highly correlated. Typically, two upstream effects are present, signal coordination and signal metering. Therefore, the delay models developed for an isolated intersection with the assumption of random arrivals are no longer appropriate for delay estimat

Abstract:
A signalized intersection typically operates under both saturated and undersaturated traffic flow conditions at different times of the day. When an intersection operates under saturated flow conditions, its ability to dissipate traffic becomes a primary matter of concern. On the other hand, safety is often the major concern due to higher vehicular travel speeds associated with undersaturated flow conditions. The minimum corner clearance distances required under the two different flow conditions are not the same. To be effective, minimum corner clearances must be set such that the needs under b

Probabilistic yielding behavior is commonly observed at permitted left-turn signalized intersections in China. Nevertheless, its impact on traffic capacity has not been explored in existing research. The uniqueness of this traffic operation is that neither left-turn traffic nor through traffic holds an absolute priority. Based on queuing theory, this research developed an analytical capacity model that took into account the probabilistic priority phenomenon at permitted left-turn signals. To validate the developed capacity model, stochastic simulations with different combinations of left-turn
