A Review of Gap-Acceptance Capacity Models
نویسنده
چکیده
Gap-acceptance capacity models apply to the analysis of minor movements at two-way stop and give-way (yield) sign-controlled intersections, entry streams at roundabouts and opposed (permitted) turns at signalised intersections. The same modelling principles apply to all these cases with different model parameters representing the intersection geometry, control and driver behaviour at different traffic facilities. This paper presents a review of some well-known analytical models that use bunched exponential and simple negative exponential distribution of headways in the opposing stream. Different bunching models are considered including the latest model used in SIDRA INTERSECTION. The capacity estimates from different models are compared.

Pedestrian Gap Acceptance Logit Model in Unsignalized Crosswalks Conflict Zone
Pedestrians are the most vulnerable road users. For evaluating and modifying pedestrian safety in unsignalized crosswalks,the first important issue is to identify and explore factors affecting the interaction behavior of pedestrians andvehicles in conflict areas. By analyzing those factors and determining how they affect road user's behavior, we canrepresent the plans and proc...

Determining the best location to be profitable for the facility’s lifetime is the important decision of public and private firms, so this is why discussion about dynamic location problems (DLPs) is a critical significance. This paper presented a comprehensive review from 1968 up to most recent on published researches about DLPs and classified them into two parts. First, mathematical models deve...
متن کاملMethodological Frontier in Operational Analysis for Roundabouts: A Review
Several studies and researches have shown that modern roundabouts are safe and effective as engineering countermeasures for traffic calming, and they are now widely used worldwide. The increasing use of roundabouts and, more recently, turbo and flower roundabouts, has induced a great variety of experiences in the field of intersection design, traffic safety, and capacity modeling. As for unsign...

متن کاملCapacity of Freeway Merge Areas with Different On-ramp Traffic Flow
This paper is aimed at investigating the influence of different types of traffic flows on the capacity of freeway merge areas. Based on the classical gap-acceptance model, two calculating models were established specifically considering randomly arriving vehicles and individual difference in driving behaviours. Monte-Carlo simulation was implemented to reproduce the maximum traffic volume on th...
