doi:10.16182/j.issn1004731x.joss.21-FZ0795

Abstract

Abstract: Contraflow left-turn is one of the traffic organization ways at intersections. By analyzing the setting parameters of the contraflow left-turn, the length and the range of the contraflow left-turn lane, the constrained conditions of the contraflow left-turn are determined, and the applicable conditions are determined from the road, traffic and signal control. VISSIM software is used to analyze a road intersection, simulate and evaluate the indicators related to the intersection entrance, optimize the timing plan of contraflow left-turn lane, and validate the feasibility and advantages of contraflow left-turn lane. The results show that the intersection delays are reduced by contraflow left-turn lane, which provides experiences and fundamental reference for the setting of contraflow left-turn lane.

Key words: traffic organization, contraflow left-turn, intersection, traffic simulation, delay
