The New German Guideline for Capacity of Unsignalized Intersections
1991This paper describes the background of a new German guideline for the estimation of the ‘capacity at unsignalized intersections. It contains information on fundamental aspects of the theory as well as a description of the proposed procedure which results from several research projects carried out on behalf of the West German Federal Minister of ...

Limited priority merge at unsignalized intersections
Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, 1999Abstract The development of a new gap acceptance model based on limited priority for the major stream is discussed. Field observations were carried out to identify the mechanism of the merging process taking place at unsignalized intersections under congested conditions.

Motorist Yielding to Pedestrians at Unsignalized Intersections
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2006This paper evaluates engineering treatments that can be used to improve the safety of pedestrians crossing in marked crosswalks on busy arterial streets. The research team collected extensive data at 42 study sites in different regions of the country to gauge the effectiveness (as measured by motorist yielding or stopping) of various engineering ...

The Design of Unsignalized Intersections in the UK
1988The cost of traffic delays and accidents at road junctions in the UK is estimated at some £6,000M or so per year, and more than 50% of it comes from unsignalised junctions. Design practices, which bear directly upon the efficiency, and therefore the user cost, of junctions have been subject to much scrutiny over the past decade, and the methods now ...

Collaboration and Optimal Conflict Resolution at an Unsignalized Intersection
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2019Safety and efficiency are important priorities in transportation engineering. The new research directions in intelligent transportation systems focus on autonomy and collaboration to improve safety and efficiency. In this paper, we consider the problem of conflict resolution at an unsignalized intersection.

Conflicts and Delay Studies at Unsignalized Intersections
1988This paper describes simulation models for unsignalized intersections and signalized intersections. The number of conflicts and vehicle delays have been used to evaluate the level of service of unsignalized intersections, where the number of conflicts is used to evaluate the safety effects and delay is used in cost benefit analysis.

Swedish Research on Unsignalized Intersections
1988The methods used by the Swedish National Road Administration to calculate capacity, delay, queue length etc in unsignalized intersections are based on a queuing theory model and on earlу german methods. These methods are used in the CAPCAL computer program, which was completed in 1977.

CELLULAR AUTOMATA MODEL FOR UNSIGNALIZED T-SHAPED INTERSECTION
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2009In this paper, the unsignalized T-shaped intersection is modeled by a cellular automata model. The main street and the minor street join at the intersection. As to the traffic flow is not controlled by traffic lights, conflict happens between the vehicles from minor street and that from main street.

Estimating the Safety Effects of Intersection Sight Distance at Unsignalized Intersections
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2016A gap acceptance crash is one of the most common types of multivehicle crashes at unsignalized intersections. Drivers’ gap acceptance is influenced by the intersection sight distance (ISD). Before this research, the relationship between ISD and safety (measured by crash frequency) at unsignalized intersections was not quantified.

An MDP Model of Vehicle-Pedestrian Interaction at an Unsignalized Intersection
2018 IEEE 88th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC-Fall), 2018Though autonomous vehicles are currently operating in several places, many important questions within the field of autonomous vehicle research remain to be addressed satisfactorily. In this paper, we examine the role of communication between pedestrians and autonomous vehicles at unsignalized intersections. The nature of interaction between pedestrians
