In order to improve the intersection control efficiency, the concept of integrated saturation degree is established based on the derivation of traffic wave behind stop line. This index can reflect the temporal resource usage as well as spatial usage. Then delay minimization isolated intersection control method with equal integrated saturation degree constraint was established. The iterative method was used to solve this constraint due to the non linear feature. Numerical example was carried out to compare the control benefit. Results show the proposed method can efficiently decrease queue length during rush hours. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research on delay in unsignalized intersection can improve the level of traffic regulations and management of intersections effectively. This article presents the process how delay happens in an unsignalized intersection and gives the investigation plan. Combined with survey results in Harbin, the relationship among traffic flow, traffic conflict, flow distribution, flow structure and the proportion of vehicles is studied. Then, the factors on the delay can be found through the change in scatter diagrams of investigation data. This research can provide the planners with an efficient analysis on the delay and provides a theoretical foundation for the calculation of delay in unsignalized intersection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
