Traffic Organization Method at Intersection for Alleviating Traffic Conflict Between Vehicle and Non-Motor Vehicle
Aiming at alleviating conflicts at signalized intersection
a new approach to organize non-motor vehicles is proposed following the analysis of right-turn vehicles and straight non-motor vehicle behavior. Based on the traditional non-motor vehicle stop line preposed design
a stop line and a signal light behind the first stop line are added in this strategy
thus two stop areas for non-motor vehicles are formed. By staggering signal lights
non-motor vehicles in two areas pass through in turn
and in this way
right-turn vehicles pass through the conflict area at interval between two groups appearing. As an example
intersection of Quyang road and Dalianxi road is investigated. The strategy is verified to be rational by Vissim simulation. The result indicates that this strategy is suitable for the approaches having a large sum of right-turn vehicles and straight non-motor vehicles. When non-motor vehicle volume reaches above 500 per hour
this strategy enables to reduce traffic conflicts and heighten safety reliability and traffic efficiency in right-turn area.
