摘要: |
This paper looks at the delay to through vehicles due to right turning vehicles at intersections. This type of delay is part of the geometric delay of the intersection and is part of the total delay experienced by vehicles using the intersection. The authors collected data at 15 intersections for this research. The results show that as the radius of curvature of the traveled way of the right turning vehicle decreases, the right turning vehicle speed decreases, and the potential for delay to following vehicles increases. This work will be of most use in helping to design intersections in congested areas and to determine the geometric delay due to right turning vehicles at intersections. |
