Abstract:

By analyzing the influences of the intersection distance, the traffic section volume and the signal timing parameters on the correlation between two neighboring intersections, a new traffic parameter, neighboring intersection correlation degree, is put forward to quantitatively describe the correlation between two neighboring intersections, and the corresponding calculation method is proposed. Then, the rationality of the parameter is analyzed and the definition and calculation formula of the multi-intersections combinatorial correlation degree are presented. Some new principles for the coordinative division of traffic control subareas are given based on the correlation degree analysis.

Key words: traffic engineering, signalized intersection, correlation degree, quantitative analysis, combination, subarea division
