Analysis and Priority of Slow Traffic Flow at Signalized Intersection

Abstract:

The slow traffic flow is composed by walking and bike driving. Characteristics of slow traffic flow are fast start and slow speed. The slow traffic and vehicle flow are driving at the same time will cause traffic conflict. The slow traffic priority will be to improve safety and traffic efficiency at the signalized intersection. In this paper, the current problems of slow traffic are analyzed. Combined with the analysis of geometric characteristics of different types of intersection, the principles and implementation conditions of slow traffic priority at the signalized intersection are proposed. From the space priority, the measures of slow traffic priority are proposed at the signalized intersection. From the time priority, slow traffic priority signal timing design flow is proposed.
