Abstract: |
In order to evaluate traffic operation status of signalized intersection in slight snowy weather, it was studied that the influence of slight snow on capacity and level of service (LOS) of signalized intersection. Data of timing, vehicle’s starting loss time, saturated headway of straight vehicle and delay of one signalized intersections in sunny and slight snowy weather were observed by video method. Stop-line method was adopted to calculate the capacity of signalized intersection and LOS was evaluated by American standard. It showed that capacity of signalized intersection decreased by 7% and LOS declined one level in slight snowy weather compared with on sunny weather. |
