摘要

As the nodes of urban road traffic network, intersections serve as an effective means to improve traffic flow efficiency and alleviate traffic congestion through the optimization of reasonable traffic organization and signal schemes for intersections. In recent years, domestic research on unconventional intersections has attracted increasing attention. This paper first summarized the types of single-double traffic intersections and preliminarily discussed the applicability of displaced left-turn (DLT) signal organization. We then constructed a calculation method for determining the important design parameters in the DLT signal traffic organization, based on the design of the channelization form of the intersection of Haihe Road and Xuanqing Street in Harbin City, China. Based on the average delay of vehicles, we established a signal optimization control model with two components: the main signal delay and the pre-signal delay, aiming to minimize the delay of vehicles. The signal optimization control model was established considering both the main signal delay and the pre-signal delay. Finally, the selected examples were compared and verified using VISSIM simulation. The simulation results show that through the design of one two-way and three one-way traffic intersections with DLT signals and signal optimization control, the average vehicle delay at the intersection is significantly reduced, and traffic efficiency is enhanced.
