Delay Time Model at Unsignalized Intersections

Abstract

A simulation process is presented for providing a point estimate of average traffic delay on minor roads at urban unsignalized intersections during peak hours. A performing process of microsimulation was carried out, and a good level of conformity was obtained between the traffic simulated in the peak hours and the corresponding amount of traffic measured in the field. Traffic performance measures expressed in terms of average delay suffered by vehicles on minor roads were used in the statistical analysis. A negative binomial regression model, jointly applied to conflict traffic volume (
