Research of Urban Intersections Group Scoping Based on Simulation

Abstract:

An urban intersection group consists of a set of intersections which are geographically adjacent and strongly correlated with each other. It is an effective way to relieve traffic congestion in the networks to set the key intersection of the road network as the core, radiate outward to find the scale of its influence and divide the intersections into groups according to their relevance. Determining intersections group is the fundament of improving traffic control. Therefore, analyzing the associated features of intersections group and the research method of determining the scope of intersection group to ensure the compatibility of "time", " space" and "traffic flow", is of high research value and practical significance[1]. This paper focuses on operating characteristics of adjacent intersections with factor (CF) as indicators of the value of the associated metric of the adjacent sections and developing dynamic partitioning intersection group program in VISSIM, and take the road network near Guangzhou Road as example.
