Abstract
Existing unconventional intersection designs can enhance the capacity of intersections to deal with repaid pressure on urban commuting, whereas they force vehicles to multi-stop and reorganize, resulting in safety risks and high fuel consumption. This paper proposes the Intermittent Lane Intersection (ILI) that combines the advantages of variable lane intersection and CTE (Combining the tandem control and exit lanes for left-turn control). An integrated optimization model is established to obtain the optimal geometric and signal control parameters, and a homothermic genetic algorithm is used to solve the model. Then, the application of ILI in different traffic demands of the Tianfu Third Street intersection is analyzed. Compared with the benchmark design (TI, CTE, and CTE with signal coordinated control), ILI can effectively reduce intersection delay, fuel consumption, and parking times. Additionally, ILI has great application superiority when the traffic arrival rate is [1500,1700] and the left-turn ratio is [0.40,0.60].
期刊介绍:
Transportation Letters: The International Journal of Transportation Research is a quarterly journal that publishes high-quality peer-reviewed and mini-review papers as well as technical notes and book reviews on the state-of-the-art in transportation research.
The focus of Transportation Letters is on analytical and empirical findings, methodological papers, and theoretical and conceptual insights across all areas of research. Review resource papers that merge descriptions of the state-of-the-art with innovative and new methodological, theoretical, and conceptual insights spanning all areas of transportation research are invited and of particular interest.
