(University of Shanghai for Science and Technology) Gao, Xing (University of Shanghai for Science and Technology) Knoop, V.L. (TU Delft Transport and Planning) Date 2019 Abstract To improve the practical capacity of the continuous flow intersections (CFI)and eliminate the conflict between left-turn bicycles and through vehicles,an optimization design method for left-turn bicycles was proposed.The pre-stop line for through vehicles and the crossing passage for leftturnbicycles were set at the pre-signal points of the CFI. The control of thethrough vehicles at pre-signal was added in the proposed method. A linearprogramming model was established to achieve the maximum vehicularpractical capacity. The optimization effectiveness and applicability for thisdesign were validated by a case study and sensitivity analyses. The resultsshow that the improvements in practical capacity obtained by the proposedmethod increase with the increase of the left-turn bicycles volumeand through vehicle percentage, while decrease with longer cycle length.As for bicycles, the proposed method can reduce the delay in the case ofhigh traffic demand.
