Abstract

The invention discloses a method for setting the green light time of a pedestrian crosswalk under signal control, aiming at overcoming the problem that the existing pedestrian crossing time determination method does not consider the influence of the number of pedestrians on the pedestrian speed and the actual capacity of the pedestrian crosswalk. In the time setting method, the crowd crossing time is determined by the crowd dissipation time t s , the people in the same direction basically travel through time t 0 Delay time t d Composition, the method steps are as follows: 1. crowd dissipation time t in crowd crossing time s Calculation of: determine the lateral distance δ of pedestrians in the crowd, obtain the number of pedestrians in the crowd accumulated in the cycle and the number of pedestrians in the entire crowd in a cycle; 2. The basic crossing time t of the crowd in the crowd crossing time 0 3. The blocking delay time t of opposite pedestrians in crowd crossing time d Calculation; 4. Comprehensive consideration of crowd dissipation time t s , the crowd basically travels through time t 0 and the blocking delay time of the opposite pedestrian t d Post-optimization to get crowd crossing time T: T=t s +t 0 +t d .

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for setting pedestrian crossing time in an urban traffic management system, more precisely, the invention relates to a method for setting green light time for pedestrians in a crosswalk under signal control. Background technique

[0002] Pedestrian traffic is an important part of urban traffic system, which has great flexibility and mobility. Research on pedestrian crossing time can improve pedestrian safety and operational efficiency, and can provide a basis for channelization design and signal timing of pedestrian crossings. The key technology is how to determine the reasonable crossing time, so as to realize the optimal control of pedestrian crossing. The present invention is aimed at crowds rather than individual pedestrians, based on the number of pedestrians and fully considering the interaction characteristics between pedestrians in time and space, from three aspects (dissipation time of crowds, basic crossing t...
