Abstract

In order to study the applicability of contraflow left-turn lane design, this paper analyzes the traveling trajectory and signal phase of contraflow left-turn lane, establishes a delay model for contraflow left-turn lane, explores the influence of different arrival rates and contraflow left-turn lane lengths on the delay, and obtains the range of contraflow left-turn lane lengths that minimize the delay in the range of different arrival rates, and finally analyzes the delay results through the VISSIM simulation software, which is secondarily developed through COM interface using Python programming language. Finally, through the VISSIM simulation software, we use Python programming language through the COM interface to carry out secondary development, build a contraflow left-turn lane design intersection environment to carry out simulation experiments and analyze the delay results. The timing of contraflow left-turn lane opening is obtained under different lane capacity of contraflow left-turn lane design.
