| Abstract | Drivers' behavior related to lag acceptance were investigated
before-and-after placing of Traffic Control Devices at two non-signalized
intersections in Bangkok. Two intersections of different types the
T-Type and the Cross-Type were selected as study sites. To determine and
compare drivers' behavior before-and-after placing of traffic control
devices, a simple Logit Model with linear transformation was applied to
determine the 50 % lag acceptance. Analysis was also extended to include
McNeil and Morgan method .
Results indicate that the left turning minor road vehicles have the
smaller values of 50 % lag acceptances compared to the right, through and
combined right and through movements. It appears that the type of major
road vehicle will have some effects on the lag acceptance. Results also
indicate that motorcycles are more aggressive and less cautious compared
to other types of vehicles.
The effect of marking showed that the increment in 50 % lag acceptance values for most of the minor road vehicles and these results indicate
the overall improvement in drivers behavior at both intersections. |
