Traffic Performance of Signalized Intersections with Protected Pre-Signal Established Upstream

Abstract:

An intersection with protected pre-signal is proposed in the paper to explore the potential capacity of intersections. The space between the main signal and the pre-signal is isolated as an exclusive waiting area. The relationship between the capacity and the arrival rates in the design is investigated and the sensitivities of length of waiting area, signal timing and arrival rates are presented. The comparison among Continuous Flow Intersection, the method Xuan (2011) proposed and the design in the paper is proposed. The results show that Median U-Turn intersections with protected pre-signal is expected to increase the capacity and decrease the average delay of intersections.
