Duration Time of Freeway Incidents

Abstract:

One-way traffic blocking on four-lanes freeway was divided into three types in this paper, such as blocking on outside lane, inside lane and double lanes. Then one lane blocking was conducted under five kinds of volume and six kinds of blocked time, moreover two lanes blocking was conducted under seven kinds of volume and five kinds of blocked time, and the simulation conclusions were obtained respectively . The relationship models among blocking duration time, upstream volume and blocking time are established and tested. This study can be used to predict the duration time of the freeway blocking under certain volume or blocked time.
