Abstract | The location of the U-turn median opening at signalised intersections can have important effects on the intersection performance. However, there has been very little prior work on this issue, especially on intersections with double left-turn lanes. This study analyses the mutual interference of the U-turn and the left-turn movements at signalised intersections with double left-turn lanes. A lane selection model, based on the Wardrop Equilibrium Principles is developed for left-turn drivers. The saturation flow rate model of the double left-turn lanes is developed to quantitatively evaluate its utilisation. This study also presents the guidelines for the design of the U-turn median opening for maximising the saturation flow rate of double left-turn lanes. The proposed model is also verified by means of simulation, and then a case study is used to compare the intersection performance before and after optimisation. The results of case study show that if the U-turn locations are varied, the saturation flow rate of the double left-turn lanes would also vary considerably. The authors show that there can be a major difference of 77.47%, and the saturation flow rate of optimal location can be improved by 7.63% compared with the current location of the U-turn median opening. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
