Title: Modeling Optimal Distance between Curb Parking Location and Exit of Signal-controlled Intersection
Abstract: In order to prevent the vehicles at the exit of signal-controlled intersection from not being evacuated normally or getting congested by the effect of curb parking facilities,focused on the exit of signalized intersection with curb parking lot,by analyzing the influence of curb parking on dynamic traffic flow at the exit of signal-controlled intersection,considered the combined effect of curb parking and signal control,the computational method of optimal stopping distance for both limited and whole section parking lots was established based on traffic flow wave theory.Taken the curb parking lots in Chengxian street in Nanjing city for example,the relationship of optimal distance with arrival flow at the intersection,link traffic flow in the area with parking lots,time of signal cycle,time of green light and length of curb parking lots was researched.The results show that(1) there are inflection points when optimal distance varying with arrival flows of the intersection and the length of parking lots;(2) both cycle length and green split ratio have great effects on optimal distance.
