Effect of encroaching vehicles on capacity of signalized intersections in mixed traffic conditions
Abstract: This paper estimates capacity of signalized intersections in heterogeneous traffic conditions considering the effect of encroaching vehicles. Accurate estimation of capacity of signalized intersections plays vital role in evaluating performance of whole road network. In the present paper two sets of saturation flow values are estimated separately by considering and not considering the effect of encroaching vehicles. Also, the capacity of the signalized intersections is found considering the effect of …
