Title: Left-turning Traffic Organization at Intersection Based on Vissim Simulation
Abstract: To reduce the left-turning vehicles impact on the efficiency of the intersection operation,left-turning traffic organization at intersection was studied based on case.The South Bridge intersection is taken as an example at Weihai.Different traffic organization schemes based on the ideas of the phase of left-turn protection and left-turn prohibition with U-turn were proposed.In evaluation the design schemes,the software VISSIM is used to simulate the different plans.The simulation results show that the effect of left-turn prohibitions with U-turn is obvious with 33.2% and 52.1% reductions in average vehicle delay compared respectively with the phase of left-turn protection and the present situation.Left-turn prohibitions with U-turn may decrease delay and improve the operation efficiency at intersection.
