Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of urban road traffic design and management and control, in particular to a traffic management and control method for relieving traffic jam at an urban oversaturated intersection.

Background

With the rapid development of economy in China, urban traffic is continuously developed, the traffic jam phenomenon of many cities is increasingly serious, the traffic problem is increasingly complex, and the traffic jam at crossroads becomes the normal state of the traffic jam of large cities. The urban road plane intersection is a throat of an urban road network, is a convergence point of pedestrian flow, non-motor vehicle flow and motor vehicle flow, reduces the vehicle speed due to mutual interference and intersection among the urban road plane intersection and the motor vehicle flow, and is easy to cause congestion. At present, the improvement of the traffic congestion problem of an urban oversaturated road intersection mainly focuses on signal timing and traffic organization optimization design, but the utilization rate of the whole intersection is low by a conventional intersection improvement design scheme (intersection widening, turning special lane and phase setting, signal timing adjustment and the like), and the optimization effect on oversaturated traffic flow is not particularly obvious. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of traffic jam at the oversaturated urban intersection, the design of the unconventional intersection is gradually proposed by domestic and foreign scholars.

At present, research on the design problem of the unconventional urban intersections is slightly developed, and mainly comprises the following steps:

as shown in fig. 13, the U-Turn (U-Turn, UT) is designed mainly in such a way that the vehicles Turn around and Turn right to complete left Turn through the opening of the central separation zone at the downstream of the intersection for the traffic flow turning left at each entrance lane;

interchange flyovers (DDI), which are a partially intercommunicated flyover design, have a geometric layout as shown in fig. 14, and divide the intersection into 2 sub intersections, and eliminate left-turn and straight-going conflicts by exchanging the driving directions on both sides of the main line;

the basic idea is to provide additional intersection left turn capacity by dynamically using the oncoming exit lane, with a left turn lane (CLL) layout schematic in fig. 15.

It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the prior art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.

For the convenience of understanding the embodiments of the present invention, the following description will be further explained by taking several specific embodiments as examples in conjunction with the drawings, and the embodiments are not to be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present invention.

The invention provides a traffic control method for relieving traffic jam at an oversaturated city intersection, and aims to solve the following problems in the unconventional design scheme of the intersection in the prior art:

the U-turn solution allows left-turning vehicles to pass through the intersection multiple times, thereby increasing the travel distance of the left-turning vehicles, which negates some of the benefits of these designs. In addition, the design scheme of interchange, lane borrowing left turning and shifting left turning relates to structural modification of the intersection and needs a considerable space, so that the difficulty of intersection modification is also improved.

At present, the design of a mainstream comprehensive driving waiting area (TI) and a pre-signal is not controlled aiming at a right-turning vehicle, so that the passing speed and the efficiency of the right-turning vehicle are improved to a certain extent. However, in terms of the psychology of the driver, part of the drivers who turn left and go straight can see the uncontrolled right-turn lane and want to enter the right-turn lane, so that the operation rule and the operation order of the comprehensive driving waiting area can be disturbed, and the possibility of traffic accidents on the road can be further improved. Secondly, the control strategy of the integrated waiting area (TI) is mainly divided into 2 types: one is to consider all the straight vehicles to enter the sequencing zone first to queue up, then the left-turning vehicles to wait immediately after the left-turning vehicles, and according to the indication of the main signal lamp, the straight traffic is released first, and then the left-turning traffic is released (the release sequence of the left-turning and the straight traffic can be adjusted). However, vehicles entering the driving area after queuing cannot fully utilize all lane resources, and the traffic running efficiency is also reduced.

At present, the actual cases of the design of the domestic unconventional intersections are few, and especially the design of the comprehensive driving area has application only to less than 10 intersections in the cities of Shanghai, Shenzhen and Jinnan 3. Most researches still stay at the level of theoretical researches, and the comprehensive driving waiting area is set for the actual intersection less.

In the prior art, a comprehensive waiting area (TI) also appears, as shown in fig. 16, the basic idea is to set a pre-signal on an entrance lane, set a sequencing area between a pre-signal stop line and a main signal stop line, and use lane marks to queue the vehicles again before entering the sequencing area, so that the released traffic flow of each phase of the main signal can utilize all lanes of the sequencing area, thereby improving the traffic capacity of the intersection. As shown in FIG. 17, a Shift left turn (CFI), the basic idea is to move the left turn lane outside of the oncoming exit lane, called the Shift left turn lane, the left turn vehicle is advanced into the Shift left turn lane upstream of the intersection, thereby eliminating the main intersection left turn and straight ahead conflict.

The invention introduces the concept of a comprehensive driving waiting area, redesigns the entrance way of the intersection and dredges the network traffic flow of the urban road by improving the efficiency of the key intersection.

Referring to fig. 1, the invention provides a traffic control method for relieving traffic congestion at an oversaturated city intersection, which comprises the following steps:

analyzing and obtaining the traffic characteristics and the congestion characteristics of the intersection based on the traffic data of the intersection;

analyzing and obtaining the congestion time interval of the intersection and the inlet and the flow direction with the most serious queuing length based on the vehicle queuing length data of the intersection;

constructing an intersection comprehensive driving area by arranging a pre-stop line and a pre-signal lamp based on the traffic characteristics of the intersection, the congestion time interval of the intersection, the inlet with the most serious intersection queuing length and the flow direction with the most serious intersection queuing length; the cycle of the pre-signal lamps and the cycle of the main signal lamps corresponding to each lane are set, so that vehicles at the intersection are dredged.

In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the method is mainly divided into three steps: analysis of intersection dynamic characteristics (i.e., the first step described above), analysis of intersection static characteristics (i.e., the second step described above), and intersection unconventional design.

The analysis of the dynamic characteristics of the intersection is specifically as follows: the method comprises the steps of obtaining flow data of all time periods of an intersection all day through video shooting and field on-site investigation, dividing the flow of each time period into imports, dividing the flow into direction statistics, converting vehicles of different types, and obtaining the peak hour flow (the sum of the hourly flow of each import) of the intersection flow, the peak hour flow (the hourly flow of each import is maximum and the hourly flow of each flow is maximum) of each import and each flow direction of the intersection, so that the main traffic direction of the intersection, the imports with the maximum flow and the flow direction are obtained.

The static characteristics of the intersection are analyzed to consider whether the intersection can meet the design of an unconventional intersection, and the method specifically comprises the following steps: through the field investigation of the intersection, the static characteristics of the intersection are known, including factors such as the number of lanes at each inlet, the length of lanes, the current state of canalization, signal timing, the length and the position of a pedestrian crossing, the nature of land around the intersection and the like. The method is closely related to the lengths of a driving area, an interweaving area and a queuing area, the position of pre-signal setting and lane function division which are designed later.

According to the analysis result of the dynamic and static characteristics of the intersection, unconventional design transformation is carried out on one or more entrance lanes of the intersection, and the unconventional design transformation specifically comprises the design of a comprehensive driving area of the intersection and the optimization design of signal timing.

The length of the comprehensive driving area needs to be set by comprehensively considering factors such as intersection flow, number of lanes at an entrance, green signal ratio of each phase, road design speed and the like, and the calculation formula is as follows:

L_s＝(l_g+l_c)·n·(1-g_s) (2) and

L_f＝(l_g+l_c)·n·(1-g_f) (3)。

in the formula, L_sFor the length of the line of the straight-through lane, L_fIs the queuing length of the left-turn lane, m_sNumber of straight lanes, m_fNumber of left-turn lanes, /)_gFor queuing intervals between vehicles,/_cFor standard car body length, n is the number of arriving vehicles per cycle, g_s、g_fThe green signal ratios of the straight line phase and the left-turn phase are respectively.

Fig. 3 is a basic layout structure diagram of a comprehensive driving waiting area, wherein vehicles drive in from each entrance lane, enter each lane through different lane function division indicating marks, queue at a pre-stop line, and wait for a corresponding pre-signal lamp above the lane to turn green. And secondly, entering a comprehensive driving area, queuing before a main stop line, turning green a corresponding main signal lamp above a waiting lane, and driving out of an entrance lane.

At present, the function division of the comprehensive driving area lane is generally arranged according to the sequence of left-turning, straight-going and right-turning (from left to right), but the actual situation can be further combined according to the number of lanes, the number of vehicles flowing to each direction, whether turning lanes exist or not and the like. For example, in a 3-lane design comprehensive driving waiting area with few vehicles turning around, lane functions can be divided according to a left-turn and turning-around shared lane, a straight lane and a right-turn lane. As shown in fig. 4 and 5.

In the preferred embodiment provided by the invention, the operation rules of the vehicles in the comprehensive driving waiting area are as follows:

1) when the pre-signal displays the red light, the arriving vehicle stops and waits before the pre-signal;

2) when a green light of a first phase (assumed as a left-turn phase) of the pre-signal is turned on, a left-turn vehicle enters a driving area, stops before a corresponding main signal, forms a queue in the driving area, and all lanes in the driving area are used for the left-turn vehicle;

3) when the green light of the first phase (assumed as the left-turning phase) of the main signal is turned on, the left-turning vehicle is released;

4) turning on a green light of a second phase (assumed as a straight-going phase) of the pre-signal, enabling the straight-going vehicle to enter an empty waiting area, stopping the vehicle before the main signal, and forming a queue in the waiting area, wherein all lanes in the waiting area are used for the straight-going vehicle;

5) when the green light of the second phase (assumed as the straight-going phase) of the main signal is turned on, the straight-going vehicle is released;

6) when a green light at a third phase (assumed as a right-turn phase) of the pre-signal is turned on, a right-turn vehicle enters an empty waiting area, stops before the main signal, forms a queue in the waiting area, and all lanes in the waiting area are all used for the right-turn vehicle;

7) when the green light is turned on in the third phase of the main signal (assumed to be the right turn phase), the right turn vehicle is released.

The key point of the comprehensive driving area is the effective combination of a pre-signal lamp, a variable information board, corresponding traffic signs, ground marks and other supporting facilities. The pre-signal lamps (lane indicating lamps) are arranged at the position of the current first stop line, and are the lane indicating lamps of each lane, and the flow direction traffic flow at the position of the stop line is controlled to alternately enter the comprehensive waiting area for queuing. After entering the area to be driven, the vehicles are queued to drive out of the intersection according to the signal lamps of the original intersection.

Meanwhile, a variable information board is required to be arranged at the position of the pre-signal, the variable information board and a pre-signal lamp (lane indicator lamp) are arranged on the same lamp post, the content of the variable information board displays that the straight-going or left-turning or right-turning vehicle enters the waiting area, and the pre-signal lamp (lane indicator lamp) indicates that the straight-going or left-turning or right-turning lane queuing vehicle is allowed to enter the comprehensive waiting area.

The red light starting time of the pre-signal light (lane indicator light) is about 10s before the end of the straight-going or left-turning signal green light at the intersection, so that the vehicles cannot pass through the comprehensive driving area in the period after entering the comprehensive driving area, and the space of the comprehensive driving area is fully utilized.

Fig. 6 to 11 are layout design diagrams of traffic signs, ground markings and signal light sets indicating the rule of the comprehensive driving area in the invention.

The figure 6 mark is arranged before the pre-signal, informs the driver of the functional division of the lane, guides the driver to enter the correct lane and queues up.

Fig. 7 shows the design of signal light group at pre-signal, and because the function of each lane is different, a corresponding signal light is arranged above each lane for control. And secondly, considering the difference of traffic flow at the peak in the morning and at the peak in the evening, two groups of signal lamps are arranged to respectively control vehicles at the peak in the morning and at the peak in the evening.

The marks in fig. 8 and 9 are set in front of the pre-stop line, the vehicle enters the comprehensive driving waiting area, the driver is informed that the vehicle is about to drive into the comprehensive driving waiting area, and several lanes in the comprehensive driving waiting area can be used for queuing.

Fig. 10 is a ground marking of the comprehensive driving area, and reminds a driver that the vehicle has driven into the comprehensive driving area and can freely queue.

Fig. 11 shows the design of signal light group at the main signal, and as with the pre-signal light group, there are corresponding signal lights above each lane for control, and two groups of signal lights are provided for respectively controlling vehicles in morning and evening. Secondly, in order to standardize the driving behavior of the driver and avoid the situation that the vehicle stays in the comprehensive driving area, an electronic police is arranged for monitoring and prompting the vehicle to drive according to an arrow in a lane, and for the vehicle which does not pass through, the driver is prompted to pass along the direction of the next green light. A countdown bar can be further arranged at the bottom of the signal lamp group and used for displaying the remaining signal time (the specific number is not shown in the bottom of the signal lamp group in fig. 11).

Fig. 12 is an overall layout diagram of the integrated waiting area in the invention.

In a preferred embodiment provided by the present invention, the setting of the periods of the pre-signal lights and the main signal lights corresponding to each lane includes the following processes:

main signal and pre-signal timing parameter design

Designing a timing parameter at the main signal by using a Webster method considering saturation constraint:

(Y＝y1+y2+…；y_iis the flow rate ratio of the corresponding traffic stream, y_i＝q_i/s_i)

If a high peak hour coefficient is considered, Y is Y/PHF; in addition, the setting of the comprehensive driving waiting area needs to divide the green light time in the vertical direction into two parts, so the loss time L is close to the loss of the four-phase intersection. The green time is assigned by the Newell method and the effective green time (G)_i) Divided into the shortest green timeAnd surplus green timeTwo parts are as follows:

the timing parameter design of the pre-signal part can be realized by using a practical period, and the delay is considered to be mainly determined by the main intersection. L, Y, (v/c) here are all different from the main intersection;

determining the period duration C of the whole intersection, distributing green time, and calculating according to the following formula:

in the formula, C^mThe shortest cycle duration of the main signal at the intersection, C the cycle duration of the intersection, y_iThe flow ratio of each phase at the intersection is the ratio of the arrival flow to the saturation flow rate; y is each maximum Y of all i signal phases constituting the intersection cycle_iThe sum of the values, PHF is the high peak hour coefficient,when the pre-signal phase is matched, L is the total loss time of the signal at the pre-signal, Y is the flow ratio at the pre-signal, and v/c is the saturation (actually achieving the ratio of the traffic volume to the traffic capacity) at the pre-signal.

When in useThe bottleneck is at the pre-signal;

when in useWhen the signal is in use, the signal timing at the main signal is carried out according to a Newell method, which shows that the saturation can meet the requirement;

when in useAnd in time, the signal timing at the main signal is carried out according to the equal saturation principle, so that the saturation meets the requirement.

When the main intersection is provided with the inlet road of the pre-signal, the saturation degree is more than or equal to (v/c)^pWhen the signal timing is 0.05, the main signal timing is in accordance with the requirement; otherwise, ensure the corresponding saturation ═ (v/c)^p0.05, the excess green time is given to the vertical direction by the Newell method (the main signal saturation need not be much lower than the pre-signal, otherwise green time is wasted).

Further, the method also comprises the design of the coordination control parameters of the main signal and the pre-signal:

first, the conditions that the pre-signal set-up position needs to satisfy are defined-for better coordination of control, and to reduce impact on upstream intersections,/₁And l₃The minimum is possible, and when the first rotary vehicle reaches the downstream pre-signal, the green light is not started yet, so that the detour distance is reduced as much as possible. But at the same time, at least the queue of the vehicles can be ensured not to overflow to the main intersection (the distance l between the heads of the vehicles is blocked) during the downstream rotation_jam＝7.5m)；

Determining l by combining actual working experience₁And l₃The value of (a). Next, the "time difference" (offset) between the main signal and the pre-signal is calculated: in combination with a space-time diagram, the vehicles need to be sufficiently queued in the storage pool, and the shortest waiting time is required after the first vehicle reaches a main signal stop line (s represents the saturation flow rate, wherein the saturation flow rates of the left turn and the straight line are different, and if a straight line equivalent method is used for signal matching, the corresponding saturation flow rate only needs to divide the coefficient on the numerator into the denominator);

therefore, the relationship between the green light start time of the main and pre-signals is (the time for starting the left-turn green light at the pre-signal isAre defined analogously)

Including lost time and travel timeTwo parts, taking inlet 3 as an example, inlet 1 can be calculated similarly

In the formula I₁，l₃The lengths of the entrance waiting areas in two opposite directions of the intersection (the number of the entrance way is represented by 1 and 3 of the foot marks),distance to upstream crossing, q₁₁、q₁₂、q₃₁、q₃₂Respectively 1 inlet channel left turn and straight flow and 3 inlet channel left turn and straight flow. N is a radical of₁₁、N₁₂、N₃₁、N₃₂Respectively 1 number of left-turn and straight lanes at the inlet and 3 number of left-turn and straight lanes at the inlet.Induction vehicle speeds of 1 inlet and 3 inlets, respectively.The saturation flow rates of the pre-signal left turn, the main signal left turn, the pre-signal straight line and the main signal straight line are respectively.The effective green time for left turn and straight run respectively.

In summary, the invention provides a traffic control method for relieving traffic jam at an oversaturated city intersection, which comprises the following steps: analyzing and obtaining the traffic characteristics and the congestion characteristics of the intersection based on the traffic data of the intersection; analyzing and obtaining the congestion time interval of the intersection and the inlet and the flow direction with the most serious queuing length based on the vehicle queuing length data of the intersection; constructing an intersection comprehensive driving area by arranging a pre-stop line and a pre-signal lamp based on the traffic characteristics of the intersection, the congestion time interval of the intersection, the inlet with the most serious intersection queuing length and the flow direction with the most serious intersection queuing length; the cycle of the pre-signal lamps and the cycle of the main signal lamps corresponding to each lane are set, so that vehicles at the intersection are dredged. The method provided by the invention has the advantages that the unconventional design means of the comprehensive driving area is introduced, right-turning vehicles are considered in the design of the comprehensive driving area and all lane resources are fully utilized on the premise of not needing a left-turn detour or a large amount of reconstruction of intersections, and a relatively effective example is provided for the domestic research of developing the comprehensive driving area aiming at the actual intersections.
