Delay and Queue Length Estimation at Signalized Intersections Using Archived Automatic Vehicle Location and Passenger Count Data from Transit Vehicles

摘要: Signalized intersections are typically the capacity bottlenecks within urban road networks. The performance of signalized is often quantified on basis average vehicle delay and maximum queue lengths. In practice, these measures commonly estimated using tools that implement methods from Highway Capacity Manual. These methods, which have been derived deterministic stochastic queuing theory, estimate length geometry, signal timings, turning movement counts (TMC), stream composition, etc. cost effort required to acquire data, particularly TMCs, results in TMCs being collected for a single day every several years. Thus, estimates intersection years outdated do not capture day-to-day seasonal variations conditions occur throughout year. Many transit agencies deployed Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) Passenger Count (APC) systems their fleet vehicles. This paper proposes methodology stopped at archived AVL/APC data. provides advantage able to: (1) field measurements rather than models; (2) data with no additional or effort; (3) evaluate Unlike previous proposed applicable near-side stations. model evaluated both simulation shown provide satisfactory results.
