Affection radii of congested junctions on traffic networks

Abstract

The article investigates the spatial effects of traffic congestion. Three and four legged rural road intersection are analyzed, regarding single and double through lanes. The analysis is based on momentary individual vehicle speeds, but other flow parameters are taken into account as well. Values are determined by ways of microsimulation, results are given in both directions of the junction for the major flow, the effects on minor flows are not evaluated.
