Study on Vehicle’s Arrival Rule and Relation between Traffic Flow Parameters on Snowy Pavement

Article Preview

Abstract:

There are great difference in traffic flow characteristics between snowy pavement and non-snowy pavement. Ten road sections were investigated and the data of traffic volume, headway, speed and density on snowy and non-snowy pavement were collected. Vehicle’s arrival rules were compared and reasonable distribution was given. The relation between traffic volume and speed, density and traffic volume were compared between snowy pavement and non-snowy pavement. It indicated that negative binominal distribution is more fit to vehicle’s arrival frequency on snowy pavement. Speed decreases for the same traffic volume and traffic volume decreases for the same density on snowy pavement.
