摘要:
Mixed traffic is one of the most remarkable transportation characteristics in Chinese cities. With extensive research on the releasing characteristics, the paper presents a definition of the two-stage of the releasing characteristic. The first stage is that the pedestrians and bicycles enter the crosswalk in the form of conglomeration; the second stage is that the pedestrians and bicycles enter the crosswalks stochastically. The variation of the inner structure of the conglomeration in the first stage of green time is analyzed, and a method of 'suppositional grids' is presented to describe the conglomeration. The model of space occupation ratio is developed to describe the dynamic movement of conglomeration. Then, the characteristics of the pedestrians and bicycles are illustrated by a field study. A time-space chart of the pedestrians and bicycles is extracted. It can be found the curve is dense before the 8th second of the green time, which is considered as the first stage of the releasing time, and the following green time is regarded as the second stage. Because of differences of the velocities, the bicycles usually surpass the pedestrians to get the front of the conglomeration. Based on the model of space occupation ratio, the space occupation ratio of the conglomeration is observed to increase first and decrease then. © 2010 China Association for Science and Technology.
