Book Synopsis Development of Guidelines for Triple Left and Dual Right-turn Lanes by : Scott Allen Cooner
Download or read book Development of Guidelines for Triple Left and Dual Right-turn Lanes written by Scott Allen Cooner and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Left- or right-turn lanes at intersections improve safety and operations by separating turning and through vehicles. At intersections with heavy turning demand, it may be necessary to provide multiple turn lanes. Triple left-turn (TLT) and dual right-turn (DRT) lanes are still considered as relatively new designs that many agencies are reluctant to use, so they are somewhat limited in Texas. Guidelines for TLT or DRT lanes are almost nonexistent, leaving traffic engineers to rely on judgment for their designs. Therefore, their research was needed to develop consistence guidance. The 0-6112 project achieved two primary project goals: (1) development of geometric and signal design guidelines for TLT and DRT lanes; and (2) evaluation of the safety and operational performance of TLT and DRT sites in Texas. Researchers conducted field studies at 5 TLT and 20 DRT, primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston urban areas, in order to evaluate lane utilization patterns, saturation flow rates, conflicts, and other operational factors. The research team also analyzed safety performance by investigating the crash history of the 25 sites using three techniques: collision diagrams, field conflict study, and comparison study. The results revealed that TLT lanes do not experience any major safety issues and also concluded that, in general, a well-designed DRT lane does not cause significantly higher crash frequency or severity compared to single right-turn lanes. Based on the results of this research and the geometric and signal design guidelines, Tudor and other agencies should be confident that well-designed TLT and DRT lanes can be implemented to address heavy turning demand at key intersections. The evaluation of these multiple turn lane sites in Texas revealed that they perform well from both operational and safety standpoints. TLT and DRT lanes are not appropriate for all situations, and their use should be supported by an operational analysis. Other techniques (grade separation, signal timing, etc.) might be better solutions for a particular site, especially when considering the effects of adjacent intersections, pedestrian/bicycle movements, and other key factors. Researchers developed a product, Keys to Successful Public Outreach, which is useful for implementing multiple turn lane projects.

Book excerpt: In Missouri, multiple left-turns are gaining popularity. However, the installation of these multiple left-turn raises questions for which the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has not yet developed answers. Specifically, MoDOT seeks guidance on: Criteria for determining when to install double and triple left-turns. The type of phasing to be used for dual and triple left-turn lanes. Whether to use "Dallas" or permitted lead-lag phasing for any left-turn lanes. Where to begin reducing the number receiving lanes downstream of an intersection with multiple left-turn lanes

Download or read book Development of Left-turn Lane Guidelines for Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally accepted that the level of service (LOS) at intersections significantly affects the overall LOS of the road system. It is also known that the LOS at an intersection can be adversely affected by frequently allowing left-turning vehicles to block through traffic. In addition, crash rates tend to be higher at intersections than on through sections of a road. The separation of left-turning vehicles from through traffic is therefore an important condition for the safe and effective operation of intersections. Existing guidelines for installing left-turn lanes have several limitations. They are mainly based on the traffic volumes at the intersection, and they use deterministic models with fixed gap acceptance and/or left-turn maneuver times. In addition, the guidelines for left-turn lanes for unsignalized intersections and signalized intersections must be specific for the type of intersection. In this study, new left-turn guidelines for both unsignalized and signalized intersections were developed on the basis of well-validated event-based simulation programs. Guidelines for unsignalized intersections were based on the percentage of left turns blocking through vehicles, whereas the guidelines for signalized intersections were developed using a minimum left-turn volume of either 85% left-turn capacity or LOS E delay (55 seconds/vehicle). In addition to the general guidelines, a prioritization tool that can be used to prioritize candidate intersections was developed. The prioritization tool accounts for both operational and safety aspects.

This book was released on 2014-07-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before they begin their university studies, most students have experience with traffic signals, as drivers, pedestrians and bicycle riders. One of the tasks of the introductory course in transportation engineering is to portray the traffic signal control system in a way that connects with these experiences. The challenge is to reveal the system in a simple enough way to allow the student "in the door," but to include enough complexity so that this process of learning about signalized intersections is both challenging and rewarding. We have approached the process of developing this module with the following guidelines: * Focusing on the automobile user and pretimed signal operation allows the student to learn about fundamental principles of a signalized intersection, while laying the foundation for future courses that address other users (pedestrians, bicycle riders, public transit operators) and more advanced traffic control schemes such as actuated control, coordinated signal systems, and adaptive control. * Queuing models are presented as a way of learning about the fundamentals of traffic flow at a signalized intersection. A graphical approach is taken so that students can see how flow profile diagrams, cumulative vehicle diagrams, and queue accumulation polygons are powerful representations of the operation and performance of a signalized intersection. * Only those equations that students can apply with some degree of understanding are presented. For example, the uniform delay equation is developed and used as a means of representing intersection performance. However, the second and third terms of the Highway Capacity Manual delay equation are not included, as students will have no basis for understanding the foundation of these terms. * Learning objectives are clearly stated at the beginning of each section so that the student knows what is to come. At the end of each section, the learning objectives are reiterated along with a set of concepts that students should understand once they complete the work in the section. * Over 70 figures are included in the module. We believe that graphically illustrating basic concepts is an important way for students to learn, particularly for queuing model concepts and the development of the change and clearance timing intervals. * Over 50 computational problems and two field exercises are provided to give students the chance to test their understanding of the material. The sequence in which concepts are presented in this module, and the way in which more complex ideas build on the more fundamental ones, was based on our study of student learning in the introductory course. The development of each concept leads to an element in the culminating activity: the design and evaluation of a signal timing plan in section 9. For example, to complete step 1 of the design process, the student must learn about the sequencing and control of movements, presented in section 3 of this module. But to determine split times, step 6 of the design process, four concepts must be learned including flow (section 2), sequencing and control of movements (section 3), sufficiency of capacity (section 6), and cycle length and splits (section 8). Depending on the pace desired by the instructor, this material can be covered in 9 to 12 class periods.
