On the Effect of Interference Caused by Mixed Traffic at Signalized Intersection
Yang Lu-ping · Journal of Transportation Systems Engineering and Information Technology · 2006
The paper uses the probability and statistic methods,and the small sample sets approach of chaos time series to analyze the impacts of interference on mixed traffic flow speed.The results show that interference only decrease its speed,and that the effect on motor-speed by bicycle group is more than one by single bicycle.The periodic interferences by straight-moving bicycles will change the dynamics feature of right-turning vehicles time headway from random into chaos,which is detected by measuring the largest Lyapunov exponents.In the paper a new method for calculating the interference is presented.These results will play an important role in the traffic management.
