| Abstract | Analyzing the operation of signalized intersection plays significant role in making
decision for selecting suitable design parameters included but not limited to, geometry of
intersection, traffic signal timing and management, and so on. Signalized intersections in
emerging countries have distinctive operational characteristics from that of developed
countries. Traffic streams are mix of various vehicle types and do not follow lane
discipline. Therefore, traditional methods used for analysis of signalized intersections
(e.g. methods based on headway of vehicles) are not directly suitable to use in such
conditions. This thesis adopted throughput of intersection as a parameter for analyzing
traffic operation at signalized intersections based on newly introduced basic measures,
Intersection Throughput Interval (ITI), Intersection Throughput Time (ITT) and average
speed of vehicle. Moreover, the method adopted in this research is studying operation of
signalized intersection at exit instead of entry.
A case study of signalized intersection was conducted in Bangkok, Thailand. Statistical
study of basic measures of the study (i.e. ITI, ITT and average speed), and regression
analysis shown that, basic measures of the study are found to be effective for analyzing
throughput of intersection and for capturing effect of variation in traffic composition (i.e.
with respect to vehicle types and turning movements) on throughput of intersection. |
