To explore the reasonable length of the auxiliary lane at the exit of the two-lane highway, the operating status of vehicles was analyzed, the maximum distance formula for vehicle lane change in the auxiliary lane segment was derived; by introducing reliability theory, a functional function of the length of the auxiliary lane was established, and the relationship between the length of the auxiliary lane and the reliability of the auxiliary lane was analyzed, the recommended values of the length of the auxiliary lane under different design speeds were calculated; finally, the rationality of the recommended values was analyzed through VISSIM simulation in this paper. The results show that the length of the auxiliary lane is positively correlated with the reliability probability of the auxiliary lane. In different simulation scenarios, the recommended value of the simulation section has good traffic flow compared to the standard value, and will not cause material waste. The research results can provide reference for further improvement of the regulations.
由以上统计结果可知,在120和100 km/h 两种设计速度下,辅助车道取推荐值相较于规范值,交通流畅性均有了明显的上升。在设计速度为80 km/h时,虽然辅助车道长度减少了35 m,但无论是路段车辆平均速度还是交通流密度都几乎没有变化,这说明推荐值比规范值更加合理。同时与前文得出的辅助车道取推荐值与规范值的可靠概率相对比,可以发现辅助车道长度的可靠概率可以反映路段的交通流顺畅程度,可靠概率越高,路段交通流越顺畅,这在一定程度上证明了辅助车道长度可靠性设计的合理性。
