Conventional capacity & de1ay models of unsignalized intersections are developed on the premise that major street vehic1es have higher priority. Recent studies have found that these mode1s might not well reflect the real-world situation, due to the existence of continuous move-up behavior. It has been observed that such behavior does exist in domestic cities. The major purpose of this study is, therefore, to develop more appropriate models, taking into account the effects of move-up operations. Pield traffic data are collected and analyzed from five typical intersections in Taipei. A de1ay mode1 is developed and validated based on these data, and is compared with conventional models. It is conc1uded that the proposed model may describe the real operational characteristics betler while conventional models tend to overestimate the delay of minor street vehic1es and underestimate delay of major street vehic1es. |
