and Over-saturated Signalized Approaches
Estimating Delay, Stops, Fuel Consumption, and Emissions at Oversaturated Signalized Intersections Hesham Rakha and Montasir Abbas Virginia Tech Presentation Outline • Vehicle delay estimation • Vehicle stop estimation • Vehicle fuel consumption and emission estimation: – Micro level (VT-Micro) • Requires speed measurements each time interval – Meso level (VT-Meso) • Average speed, vehicle stops, and stopped delay Slide 2 Rakha and Abbas Delay Estimation Microscopic Approach • Delay computed microscopically at each time step: – Difference in travel time between instantaneous speed and the facility free-flow speed • Approach incorporated within the INTEGRATION software • Validated against shockwave and queuing theory delay estimates Where: d(ti) u(ti) uf ∆t Slide 3 = Delay at instant ti (s) = Speed at instant ti (km/h) = Free-speed (km/h) = Time-step increment (s) Rakha and Abbas u (t i ) d (t i ) = ∆t 1 − uf Delay Estimation Model Validation • INTEGRATION estimates of delay consistent with CCG and HCM procedures 240 Australian Capacity Manual (1981) Average Approach Delay (s/veh) Highway Capacity Manual (1994) 200 Canadian Capacity Guide (1995) / Highway Capacity Manual (1997) INTEGRATION -
