Research outputs 2014 to 2021
Introduction:
A large number of the current guidelines and models are used to estimate the right-turn lane (RTL) length in left-hand traffic at signalised intersections under split phase, in which the movement of traffic in the right-turn lane and through lane happen concurrently. There is a need to examine other phase types and timings as a part of the RTL design. This is particularly significant in the case of established intersections that cannot be modified due to physical constraints.
Methods:
A MATLAB based simulation programme was developed to provide an estimate of the right-turn lane storage length for different traffic …
