The Impact of Urban Traffic Capacity when the Cars Occupy Lanes

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on two traffic accident data, during the accident occur and evacuation, we analyze the changing process of the actual traffic capacity on cross-section where the accident happened. We can get the vehicle actual traffic capacity in Accident 2 is larger than the vehicle actual traffic capacity in Accident 1. And build a mathematical vehicle queue length model.
