Abstract EN
Right-turn motorized vehicles turn right using channelized islands, which are used to improve the capacity of intersections.
For ease of description, these kinds of right-turn motorized vehicles are called advance right-turn motorized vehicles (ARTMVs) in this paper.
The authors analyzed four aspects of traffic conflict involving ARTMVs with other forms of traffic flow.
A capacity model of ARTMVs is presented here using shockwave theory and gap acceptance theory.
The proposed capacity model was validated by comparison to the results of the observations based on data collected at a single intersection with channelized islands in Kunming, the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) model and the VISSIM simulation model.
To facilitate engineering applications, the relationship describing the capacity of the ARTMVs with reference to the distance between the conflict zone and the stop line and the relationship describing the capacity of the ARTMVs with reference to the effective red time of the nonmotorized vehicles moving in the same direction were analyzed.
The authors compared these results to the capacity of no advance right-turn motorized vehicles (NARTMVs).
The results show that the capacity of the ARTMVs is more sensitive to the changes in the arrival rate of nonmotorized vehicles when the arrival rate of the nonmotorized vehicles is 500 (veh/h)~2000 (veh/h) than when the arrival rate is some other value.
In addition, the capacity of NARTMVs is greater than the capacity of ARTMVs when the nonmotorized vehicles have a higher arrival rate.
