Abstract:

A control strategy for left-turn intersection using double-exit line is proposed to solve the ineffective problem of left-turn intersections using single-exit lane when the length of the comprehensive function area is too large. This paper first establishes a capacity calculation model of contraflow left-turn lanes by analyzing the operation mechanism of contraflow left-turn lanes using single and double exits. Then, a signal timing optimization model is constructed which the maximum number of motor vehicles as the optimization objective. The result indicates if the number of conventional left-turn lanes is equal to that of pre-signal exit lanes, the traffic capacity of the two modes is the same. If the number of conventional left-turn lanes is greater than that of pre-signal exit lanes, the capacity of double-exit type is significantly greater than that of single-exit type. Sensitivity analysis shows that the capacity of left-turn intersections increases first and then decreases with the change in the total length of the comprehensive functional area and the proportion of left-turn. The total length of the comprehensive functional area with double-exit lane should be between 80 and 100 m.

Key words: engineering of communication and transportation system, signal timing, linear programming, exit lanes for left-turn intersection, contraflow left-turn lane
