Abstract

How to sustainably conduct intersection operations is a key issue of the current research. For an actuated control intersection, queued vehicles, control parameters, and phase schemes all affect the operation effect. This paper discusses queued vehicles at actuated intersections and their influence on signal timing. First, this paper establishes an improved traffic wave model and proposes a vehicle queuing model on this basis. Second, by analyzing the queuing and dispersion process of queued vehicles, a minimal green time calculation model is proposed. Then, this paper establishes a maximal green time calculation model aiming at minimizing average vehicle delay and maximizing traffic capacity under different phase schemes, and considers the influence of queued vehicles. Lastly, the models are verified separately; results show that the average error of the minimal green time model was 4.18%, and the average optimization rate of the maximal green time model was 9.27%. It is proved that the models achieved great accuracy and optimization effects, which could potentially improve intersection sustainability.
