Abstract

This article’s aim was to study the effects, which were come from the length of reverse-variable lane, left-turn traffic arrive rate, left-turn green time and the reverse traffic arrive rate of the upstream intersection in the short-line grouped intersections, about the capacity of intersection,by Cellular automata model . The simulated results indicate that there was a critical value of traffic arrive rate. When the traffic arrive rate less than critical value, the reverse-variable lane could not improve the left-turn capacity. When traffic arrive rate greater than critical value, there was a optimal length of reverse-variable lane which can make the left-turn capacity been maximum. When the left-turn green time increased, the optimal length of reverse-variable lane been less. When the traffic arrive rate and the length of reverse-variable lane are certain, there is a minimum green time, which make the past-traffic flow reach the capacity. When the length between intersections is certain and the reverse traffic arrive rate of upstream intersection reach to a certain value, the function of reverse-variable lane and the left-turn capacity of intersection are been effected.
