Models and Evaluation for Urban Traffic Carrying Capacity

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studies on the status of urban traffic development by analyzing traffic carrying capacity. The concept, characteristics and influencing factors of urban traffic carrying capacity is researched. This paper establishes one quantitative model based on the time-space consumption model, especially taking the reuse coefficient of road resources, reduction coefficient caused by intersections, and integrated utilization coefficient of road network into consideration. And put forward evaluation index which is the level of traffic carrying capacity. Moreover, the evaluation standard and some strategies for improving traffic carrying capacity are provided.
