Abstract

Abstract: The construction area of the two-lane roads can form the road bottlenecks easily, leading to the capacity of the road reducing. Aiming to keep the vehicle passing the construction area safely and efficiently, we added the strategy of signal control in the construction area. We built a suitable signal control model for the construction area of the two-lane road. By using the simulation software of Vissim, we established the related simulation models. By using the control variable method to change the simulation parameters and by changing the arrival traffic and speed, we got the influences and rules to the transportation performance. When the road maintenance is in a short-distance and the mix rate of large vehicle is at about 0.2, it has larger influence in traffic flow to the construction area of the road and the state of traffic flow is instability; when the mix rate of large vehicle is less than 0.2, the cart effect is more significant.

Key words: traffic engineering, two-lane road, signal control of two-lane road, simulation of Vissim
