Research on the Performance of Mobile Barricades Based on Fuzzy-AHP Method

Abstract

Generally, barricades are fixed and they separate roads into two symmetric parts. However, the traffic of two lanes is different by time, which means that the road is not made fully use of. Consequently, reallocating roads in different time could moderate tide traffic and improve road efficiency by adjusting the vertical and horizontal location of barricades. Based on engineering technology and achievements as well as field research, this paper designed a kind of mobile barricade which could moderate tide traffic. Analyses of the feasibility of this kind of mobile barricade are also made from the view of traffic, speed, investment, occupied space, speed standard deviation and road utilization. This paper also made an appraisement of it with AHP-Fuzzy method. Results show that the use of mobile barricades not only improves land utilization and traffic sustainable development, but also increases traffic capacity and cuts down energy consumption, which helps a lot in building good traffic environment.
