Abstract
ABSTRACT Alternative intersection designs can provide cost-effective solutions to overcome the proven inadequacy of conventional approaches. Several studies have assessed the performance of alternative designs against a range of traffic volumes and geometric design aspects, each in isolation, but a model which can factor in multiple variables into the analysis is the identified research gap. The displaced left-turn – DLT intersection design was found to be the most versatile, efficient, and transferable to locations elsewhere in the world. In this paper, a displaced right-turn intersection – a variant of DLT, was modelled for a range of traffic flows and design conditions. Regression models were developed for Practical Reserve Capacity and Delay as dependent variables with traffic flow, proportion of right-turning traffic, signal cycle time and length of displaced turn as explanatory variables. These models can provide relatively quick preliminary estimates of the performance indicators before committing to resource-consuming junction remodelling works.
