Study on simulation method for intersection hybrid traffic flow

Abstract

In hybrid traffic conditions at intersections, the speed of various transport modes is different and the traffic conflicts occur frequently, which lead to traffic chaos. Reasonable simulation method is very important for improving intersection state and capacity. The process and method of microscopic traffic simulation are studied, this paper considers the impacts of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, then designs a simulation process for intersection hybrid traffic flow. Taking an orthogonal intersection as an example, through data survey, problems analysis, optimization scheme design and simulation evaluation, the validity of the proposed method is verified. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
