Delay Models for Various Lane Assignments at Signalised Intersections in Heterogeneous Traffic Conditions
In emerging countries like India, congestion and delays are acute problems at signalized intersections due to the complex flow pattern of vehicular traffic with varying static and dynamic characteristics. The objective of the present study is to develop delay models for different lane assignments with variable proportions of right-turning vehicles (RTV) (10–50%) and heavy vehicles (HV) (0–12%). Traffic data were collected at five signalized intersections using a videography technique. Models were constructed with the data from four signalized intersections and were validated using data from the fifth intersection. Four-lane assignment models were created using the SIDRA Intersection software. In model-1, the median side lane (lane 1) was exclusively assigned for RTV, whereas in model-2, lane 1 was assigned for through heavy vehicles (THV) and RTV. In model-3, lane 1 was exclusively allotted for RTV, and lane 2 was assigned for through vehicles (TV) and right turn light vehicles. In model-4, both lanes 1 and 2 were assigned for either TV or RTV. Simulation results of all the models showed that the delays increase as the proportion of HV increases. Models 1 and 3 indicated that significant decrease in the delays with rising RTV proportions. In contrast, model 2 revealed negligible variations in the delays with a rise in RTV up to 40%, beyond which the delays followed a rising pattern. Multi-linear regression analysis was used to develop the delay models. When models 2 & 4 were compared to the Indo-HCM model at different volume–capacity (v/c) ratios, the maximum variation was observed at volume–capacity (v/c) ratio ≈ 1, and analogous results were obtained when 0.85 < v/c > 1.15. All the models exhibited a good correlation with the variables (R2 > 0.85) and were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
