Optimal Methods of Traffic Control Systems for Pedestrians Crossing Signalized Intersection under Urban Overpasses

Abstract:

The vehicle delay is a key problem in intersection signal control system. Because there is enough security space for pedestrians under urban overpasses, the traffic control approach of pedestrians crossing signalized intersection may be further improved. To the above problems, this paper shows two-phase control method in pedestrians crossing signalized intersection under urban overpasses. According to this method, the vehicle delay affected by pedestrians crossing the signalized intersection is studied. Meanwhile, the variation trend of vehicle delay under different road widths are also analyzed. At last, an overpass is conducted for example analysis, and the result shows that this approach is practical and feasible for the special case of pedestrians crossing signal control intersection under urban overpasses, it can effectively reduce the pedestrian and vehicle delay.
