Abstract
Influence of route vehicle traffic volume on the road network capacity
Incoming article date: 14.11.2016This article considers influence of route vehicle traffic volume on the road network capacity. The atrcile introduces the change of passanger traffic according to hours of the day on the bus routs, which are laid through signaled crossings of streets Kyubisheva - 8 Marta in Yekaterinburg nearby big transfer transport junction in the distric of subway station ""Geologicheskaya"". Recieved data gives an opportunity to identify percentage of buses in the transport stream. It is one of the factors that influences on the calculations of the length of traffic signal cycle. The analysis of received statistical data lets us draw the following conclusion: 1. To reconstract network of streets and provide the maximal traffic capacity on the crossings, it is necessary to consider variable structure of transport flow. 2. To calculate the length of traffic signal cycle it is necessary to consider the bus traffic volume, which changes according to the time. 3.There was determined the change dependency of passanger traffic on hours of the day on the bus routs. It gives the possibility to predict changes in the length of traffic signal cycle. 4. Recieved results can be used to calculate the length of traffic signal cycle and in order to developn an optimized route network of passenger transport.
