FACTORS AFFECTING THE CAPACITY OF THE ROAD NETWORK

Abstract

Full-scale studies of the movement of vehicles on the street and road network of large cities have been carried out. It is revealed that a large number of realignments are observed during the movement of vehicles, as factors affecting the capacity of the road network. The quantitative characteristics of car rebuilds before relocations are determined. The dependence of the number of vehicle realignments on the number of traffic lanes and the location of the vehicle in a particular lane has been established. The obtained research results should be taken into account when determining the duration of traffic light regulation cycles at intersections. Purpose – determination of the number of realignments as factors affecting the capacity of the road network. Methodology statistical methods of processing a full-scale experiment were used in the work. Results: quantitative characteristics of realignments depending on the number of lanes and the composition of traffic flows are obtained. Practical implications it is advisable to apply the obtained results in the regulation of road traffic by technical means of traffic management.
