Research on the Improvement Schemes of Irregular Intersection

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to make the traffic flow more stability and smoothly at irregular intersection, the improvement schemes is researched on a typical irregular intersection, Hao valley intersection in Wuhan. Firstly, a field investigation is carried out for this intersection. Secondly, we carried on the optimization in many different ways, such as transportation demand management, traffic flow organization of regional, signal optimization, intersection Canalization and other optimizations. Finally, a microscopic traffic flow simulation software, VISSIM, is used to simulate the traffic situation before and after improvement. Results shows the improvement schemes effect is obviously, and the delay and conflicts substantially reduced. This research can provide a reference for similar intersection improvements.
