Title: Analysis of Manual Traffic Control at All-Way Stop-Controlled Intersections During Special Events
Accession Number: 01127064
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The goal of this study is to investigate and evaluate manual traffic control at All-Way Stop-Controlled intersections during special events. To this end, this study first investigates saturation flow rate under manual operation. It is found that the base saturation flow rate is approximately 1,300 vehicles per hour per lane, with saturation headway of 2.8 seconds. A simulation method is proposed to simulate manual traffic control with the identification of saturation flow. This method is then applied to a field study in Bozeman, Montana during a football game day to evaluate manual traffic control. Simulation results show that the cycle length of manual traffic control during this special event is much longer than the optimized one and as a result, incurring more vehicle control delay. The proposed method is useful for developing more effective traffic management strategies during special events.
