Abstract:
In order to compute left-turn delay under complex traffic flow more scientific, the regulation of vehicles arrival and departure is analyzed. This paper proposes a new approach to calculating left-turn delay at signalized intersection based on the incremental queue accumulation (IQA) method. This method uses the cumulative area of the queue of irregular polygon as a uniform delay values. The method breaks Webster's delay model conditions and description the actual traffic conditions better. The new method is tested using the field data colled at several signalized intersections in the city of Fuzhou. The IQA method is more realistic than the Webster's delay model, especially the permitted left-turn operation at signalized intersection.
