Abstract: To estimate the intersection queue length, a magnetic sensor is deployed near the stop line at the intersection. Through the vehicle queue mechanism modeling, the evolution of vehicle occupancy sensor time and the departure interval can be obtained. Eventually, the queue length of the last signal cycle can be estimated. This paper analyzes the variance of vehicle occupancy sensor time and the departure interval with the increase in queued vehicle number, thereby proposes departure interval model, vehicle occupancy sensor time model and comprehensive model to estimate the queue length. The accuracies of the proposed models are compared using field experiments. Results show that the proposed queue length estimation method can accurately get the queue length of the last signal cycle. The method costs low and can be deployed easily, and thus, it can facilitate large-scale popularization and application. It can provide intersection queue length information for signal cycle optimization and traffic service level evaluation in road signal intersections.

Key words: engineering of transportation and communication system, magnetic sensor, signal intersection, queue length estimation, queued vehicle numbers
