Research on Start-Up Behavior and Capacity at Signal Intersection in Vehicle Interconnection Environment
Publication: International Conference on Transportation and Development 2020
ABSTRACT
Intersection is a key node of urban traffic operation, and traffic efficiency of intersection is critical to an entire urban network. Telematics changes driver’s ability to perceive external information, which is different from driving behaviors in traditional traffic environment. This paper selects a new road intersection to simulate traffic operation under vehicle interconnection environment, and build a vehicle-vehicle experiment platform based on ZigBee short distance communication to collect data to analyze the start-up behavior of intersection and explore internal regulation of intersection operation in vehicle interconnection environment. The results show that start-up behavior at intersection is faster and start-up loss time is significantly reduced under vehicle interconnection environment. A method of saturation flow rate is used to calculate traffic capacity of signal intersection in vehicle interconnection environment, and the results show that capacity is increased by about 20%.
