Abstract

Mixed traffic of bicycles and motor vehicles is a major characteristic of urban transportation in China, and has led to traffic accidents, serious congestion and capacity reduction on urban signalized intersections. Determining bicycle capacity on signalized intersections is not only the basis for intersection design and planning, but also for signal configuration and operation management. Motor vehicles are a major influence on bicycles crossing through an intersection. Based on an analysis of the fluid diffusion characteristics at signalized intersections, the paper established a fluid diffusion model on bicycle capacity. Comparative analysis of large data sets shows that the model provides good results.
