通过对行人过街的三种情况即自由过街、无控制人行横道过街和信号控制人行横道过街进行研究，分析了不同过街条件下行人与机动车的运行特征。设定行人与机动车到达间距服从负指数分布，给出了不同条件下的机动车延误计算方法。研究结果表明，对行人过街选择合适的过街方式可以有效减少机动车的延误，特别是在行人与机动车交通量比较大时，设置人行横道（包括信号控制与无信号控制）可以大幅度减少机动车的延误。     

延误条件下地铁车站客流的引导需求分析及信息服务对策

在高客流负荷和网络化运营条件下,列车延误会导致短时段内车站滞留客流激增,为防范拥塞导致的安全风险,地铁车站会启动预案及时引导客流。从乘客感知角度出发,调查并分析列车延误条件下乘客的出行计划改变意愿、信息需求偏好,研究表明,在不同程度的列车延误情景下,乘客出行计划改变及决策所需的信息需求存在显著差异。对站内客流引导服务现状进行调查,结果表明,乘客对于人工引导的依赖性最高,现有信息化引导措施与乘客的期望尚存差距。在此基础上,提出延误客流信息服务综合提升对策,以提升延误条件下乘客信息服务满意水平。

A methodology for identifying similar days in air traffic flow management initiative planning

This article describes a methodology for selecting days that are comparable in terms of the conditions faced during air traffic flow management initiative planning. This methodology includes the use of specific data sources, specific features of calendar days defined using these data sources, and the application of a specific form of classification and then cluster analysis. The application of this methodology will produce results that enable historical analysis of the use of initiatives and evaluation of the relative success of different courses of action. Several challenges are overcome here including the need to identify the appropriate machine learning algorithms to apply, to quantify the differences between calendar days, to select features describing days, to obtain appropriate raw data, and to evaluate results in a meaningful way. These challenges are overcome via a review of relevant literature, the identification and trial of several useful models and data sets, and careful application of methods. For example, the cluster analysis that ultimately selects sets of similar days uses a distance metric based on variable importance measures from a separate classification model of observed initiatives. The methodology defined here is applied to the New York area, although it could be applied by other researchers to other areas.     

Modeling delay at signalized intersections with channelized right‐turn lanes considering the impact of blockage

This paper presents a probabilistic delay model for signalized intersections with right‐turn channelization lanes considering the possibility of blockage. Right‐turn channelization is used to improve the capacity and to reduce delay at busy intersections with a lot of right‐turns. However, under heavy traffic conditions the through vehicles will likely block the channelization entrance that accrues delay to right‐turn vehicles. If the right‐turn channelization gets blocked frequently, its advantage in reducing the intersection delay is neglected and as a result the channelization lane becomes inefficient and redundant. The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) neglects the blockage effect, which may be a reason for low efficiency during peak hours. More importantly, using HCM or other standard traffic control methods without considering the blockage effects would lead to underestimation of the delay. To overcome this issue, the authors proposed delay models by taking into account both deterministic and random aspects of vehicles arrival patterns at signalized intersections. The proposed delay model was validated through VISSIM, a microscopic simulation model. The results showed that the proposed model is very precise and accurately estimates the delay. In addition, it was found that the length of short‐lane section and proportion of right‐turn and through traffic significantly influence the approach delay. For operational purposes, the authors provided a step‐by‐step delay calculation process and presented approach delay estimates for different sets of traffic volumes, signal settings, and short‐lane section lengths. The delay estimates would be useful in evaluating adequacy of the current lengths, identifying the options of extending the short‐lane section length, or changing signal timing to reduce the likelihood of blockage.

An exact modelling of the uniform control traffic delay in undersaturated signalized intersections

The average delay experienced by vehicles at a signalized intersection defines the level of service (LOS) at which the intersection operates. A major challenge in this regard is the ability to accurately estimate all the components underlying the overall control delay, including the uniform, incremental and initial queue delays. This paper tackles this challenging task by proposing a novel exact model of the uniform control delay component with a view to enhancing the accuracy of the existing approximate models, notably, the one reported in the Highway Capacity Manual 2010. Both graphical and analytical proofs are employed to derive exact closed‐form expressions for the uniform control delay at undersaturated signalized intersections. The high degree of accuracy of the proposed models is analysed through extensive simulations to demonstrate their abilities to exactly characterize the performance of real‐life intersections in terms of the resulting vehicle delay. Unlike the existing widely adopted uniform delay models, which tend to overestimate the LOS of real‐life intersections, the delay models introduced in this paper have the merit of exactly capturing such a LOS.

基于行人的信号交叉口右转车控制条件

针对保障行人过街道舒适性和安全性的信号控制问题,考虑行人的过街需求,分右转车与两进口行人完全分离、特定时间段右转控制两种条件,建立信号控制延误和行人干扰延误的分析模型,进而提出相应的右转车辆控制条件。以一四相位十字形信号交叉口为研究对象,采用与左转相位相同和进口人行道绿灯相位禁行两种控制方式进行应用仿真,结果表明,在右转车流量一定时,右转车不受控制时延误与行人流量成正比,当行人流量达到1 000人/h、右转车流量达到400 veh/h时,右转车延误超过C级服务水平延误值的上限;实施控制后,右转车延误随流量的增加而递增,与行人流量无关,且第2种控制方式下的延误更小。
