THE METHOD OF EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF TRAFFIC INTERVALS IN THE TRANSPORT FLOW

Abstract

The method of experimental determination of the distribution of traffic intervals between cars in the traffic flow on the sections of races between simple interchanges on the same level with a traffic intensity of 300 to 600 vehicles per hour per lane is described, as well as the influence of interchanges on the same level on the time interval is established and on the change in traffic intensity to determine the dependence of the availability and number of free traffic intervals in the traffic flow. For this purpose, the following tasks were solved: a method of experimental research on changing traffic intervals in the traffic flow was developed; the necessary amount of data is established to ensure the necessary reliability of the results; the experimental part was carried out (collection of statistical data on traffic intensities and intervals and other characteristics on different categories of highways); processing of experimental data using methods of mathematical statistics; specified time interval distribution function; analyzed the nature of the change in time intervals between vehicles in a "package" and between "packages" when moving through intersections at the same level; the dependence of the number of vehicles of a given traffic interval on the time interval between vehicles is established.
