Bidirectional traffic road

Abstract

The invention belongs to an expressway in an urbanization area. The invention aims to improve the safety and mobility of road users, reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution and create an enterprise logistics system. The core of the invention is that the forward high-speed lane is located on the left side, the reverse high-speed lane is located on the right side, and the distance between the two lanes can accommodate company buildings. The vehicles are connected through a low-speed one-way traffic lane and can reach a commercial district, a passenger getting-on and getting-off point and a parking lot only at a right-hand curve. In order to ensure safe passage of pedestrians, bicycle riders and light motorcycles, a special passage is arranged on a second plane along the road between the buildings. A passenger tramcar with a loading and unloading area and loading and unloading equipment, a freight tramcar and a passenger traffic infrastructure are arranged below the special passage and on the underground part. And a logistics base is planned at the tail end of the track. And the second plane of the underground part comprises subway trains and infrastructures for passenger transportation. These purposes are achieved by avoiding intersections of traffic aisles and creating a reasonable multi-mode transportation and logistics system.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention is a new generation of dense safety traffic road for the construction of roads in urbanized areas. Two-way traffic road BACKGROUND TECHNICAL PROBLEM

[0002] Known two-way traffic roads (patent No. CN 212895731 U) consist of a single lane with two or four traffic lanes, where opposite traffic lanes are separated by markings, and curbs or sidewalks are built on the roadside next to the traffic lanes. This type of road is used for motorized, non-motorized and pedestrian traffic. At the intersections of these roads there is a flat intersection, where vehicles travel in various directions. Pedestrians and pedestrians moving non-motorized vehicles can cross the lanes through marked or unmarked pedestrian crossings.

[0003] At first glance, these roads seem to be ideal roads, because the driver can reach the right place in the shortest distance, and pedestrians also have the opportunity to cross the road by their own right. Perhaps this is the reason why these roads are still widely used, built and operated to this day. These roads are only convenient when traffic flow is low. However, when traffic flow is high, these roads and their intersections have the following significant disadvantages: 1. Safety issues for all road users, as the trajectories of car and pedestrian flows intersect each other on the road and at the intersection.

[0004] 2. Low road and flat intersection throughput, as pedestrians on pedestrian crossings, traffic lights or priority signs at intersections cause heavy traffic and congestion in front of them.

[0005] 3. Reduced traffic safety and road throughput when vehicles turn to objects on the left side of the road and return to the left side of the road; this also increases transportation energy consumption, amortization losses, environmental pollution, road and intersection traffic intensity, and exacerbates road traffic congestion, while causing road users to waste time.

[0006] 4. Such roads induce the construction of residential buildings, other multifunctional passenger hubs and even public transport stations on both sides of the road, which creates conditions for non-rational and unsafe transportation and pedestrian traffic on the road.

[0007] 5. Such roads lack a well-developed infrastructure that allows passengers to choose a safe and rational mode of transportation and travel.

[0008] Two-way roads with heavy traffic flow consisting of two one-way traffic lanes in opposite directions are known (patent No. CN1467342 A, JPH 11323804 A, CN 204551157 U). The lanes are separated by a barrier, and kerbs (sidewalks) are built outside the lanes. Such roads have one-plane, two-plane or more-plane intersections. When multi-plane intersections are built, such roads have higher traffic capacity and safer traffic. Unfortunately, when traffic is dense, traffic congestion occurs behind these intersections and at traffic flow merging points, and passenger flow and urban company logistics problems remain unsolved.

[0009] Such roads also have the disadvantages listed in points 3, 4, 5.

[0010] Similar inventions One similar invention is a two-way urban road described in patent No. CN204551157 U, class E01C1 / 02. The urban road consists of two high-speed one-way traffic lanes in opposite directions, and two low-speed lanes are built on each side of the road. These lanes intersect with a lateral road at one plane. Municipal buildings, commercial buildings and other purpose buildings are located on both sides of the road. Such an urban road is extremely unsafe, causes traffic congestion and releases a large amount of air pollutants. The reason is that the road has a one-plane intersection, and buildings are located on both sides of the road, which serve as the main gathering and distribution center for pedestrians and road users. Pedestrians and light vehicle drivers are forced to cross the high-speed traffic flow on such a road regularly. This reduces the traffic safety and capacity of the intersection. SUMMARY

[0011] The purpose of the invention is to create a safe, reasonable, efficient and environmentally friendly multi-modal and multi-functional dense traffic road for all road users; at the same time, to create one of the possible logistics solutions for city companies. The key is to ensure safe, reasonable, efficient and environmentally friendly traffic, quick access to passenger collection and distribution centers to solve the logistics problems of city companies, and a multi-functional, high-speed, multi-modal and two-way dense traffic road has been built, in which the high-speed dense one-way traffic lanes are built at a distance from each other, and between them there are buildings for trade, finance, services, entertainment, manufacturing companies, science, education, administrative agencies, etc. On the right-hand traffic road, the high-speed dense one-way traffic lanes for forward traffic are arranged on the left side of the road, while the high-speed dense one-way traffic lanes for reverse traffic are arranged on the right side of the road. These lanes are connected only by right-turn lanes and locally important straight, low-speed (20-40 km / h) one-way traffic lanes, and the lanes have mini-roundabouts, which are also used to access companies, passenger drop-off and pick-up points, and electric car parking lots. On the left-hand traffic road, the high-speed dense one-way traffic lanes for forward traffic are arranged on the right side of the road, while the high-speed dense one-way traffic lanes for reverse traffic are arranged on the left side of the road. These lanes are connected only by left-turn lanes and locally straight, low-speed (20-40 km / h) one-way traffic lanes (with mini-roundabouts). For the safety of pedestrians, people with disabilities and non-motorized traffic participants, two-way passages are built along the road above the local lanes, between the buildings, from intersection to intersection, with pedestrian, cyclist and moped lanes, bicycle / moped parking areas, pedestrian access to the first floor (escalators, elevators). For the purpose of short-distance passenger flow, two two-way passenger tram traffic roads with passenger infrastructure are built underground under the pedestrian walkways. Outside the passenger tram roads, two freight tram roads are built, equipped with loading and unloading areas near the company buildings, and logistics bases at the main road intersections. To provide transport / high-speed passenger flow services, the necessary infrastructure for metro train two-way traffic and passenger traffic is installed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0012] Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The structure of the two-way high-speed traffic road is shown in Figures, which reveals its multi-functional features, taking into account the traffic safety conditions for all road users, its reasonableness, passenger flow, road permeability and environmental friendliness. Figure 5 and Figure 6 Multi-functional and multi-type road infrastructure is shown in Figures.

[0013] Figure 1For a plan view, a two-way road with right-hand traffic is shown, with a high-density one-way traffic lane 1 on the left side of the road for oncoming traffic, and a high-density one-way traffic lane 2 on the right side of the road for reverse traffic. Between these lanes, a 50-300 meter wide strip is reserved, where buildings 3 of various purposes, such as scientific, cultural, administrative, production, commercial, and other purposes, are built. The exits 7 of the high-density one-way traffic lanes 1 and 2, and the entrances 11 of the high-density one-way traffic lanes 1 and 2, are built as right-turn only.

[0014] For safe and reasonable access to the company 3, the passenger boarding area 12, and the electric vehicle parking and charging area 4, low-speed (20-40 km / h) one-way lanes of local importance have been built, with left turns prohibited except at mini-roundabouts 9. The spaces 10 between the low-speed one-way lanes of local importance are used for greenery, while the spaces 5 and 6 between the buildings 3 and the parking lots 4 are used for greenery and pedestrian leisure.

[0015] Figure 2 For a plan view, a two-way road with dense left-hand traffic is shown, with a high-density one-way traffic lane 1 on the right side of the road for oncoming traffic, and a high-density one-way traffic lane 2 on the left side of the road for reverse traffic. The exits 7 of the high-density one-way traffic lanes 1 and 2, and the entrances 11 of the high-density one-way traffic lanes 1 and 2, are built as left-turn only, except at mini-roundabouts. For safe and reasonable access to the company 3, the passenger boarding area 12, and the electric vehicle parking lot 4, low-speed (20-40 km / h) one-way lanes of local importance have been built, with right turns prohibited except at mini-roundabouts 9.

[0016] Figure 3 (A section A-A) shows a dedicated access 13 raised from the ground, for the safe passage of pedestrians (people with disabilities), cyclists, and small motorcycles, built between buildings 3 along the road from intersection to intersection. The dedicated access is composed of a frame 14, stairs (escalators) 21 and 22 for pedestrians, cyclists, and small motorcycles. The access has separate lanes for each: a pedestrian (people with disabilities) oncoming lane 17, a cyclist oncoming lane 18, and a small motorcycle oncoming lane 20; and corresponding reverse lanes: a pedestrian (people with disabilities) oncoming lane 25, a cyclist oncoming lane 24, and a small motorcycle oncoming lane 23. Stairs (escalators) 22 and 21 are built for pedestrians on these lanes, and elevators 29 are built for people with disabilities (not shown). Figure 4 Near the stairs, bicycle parking areas 16 and 26, and small motorcycle parking areas 19 and 27, are created. The roof 28 is designed to protect road users from adverse weather conditions.

[0017] Figure 4The channels are shown as planar diagrams. Channel 17 is for pedestrians and people with disabilities, channel 18 is for cyclists, channel 20 is for small motorbikes, parking area 16 is for bicycles, parking area 19 is for small motorbikes, elevator 29 is for people with disabilities, stairs 21 and 22 lead to the ground floor, parking area 27 is for small motorbikes, parking area 26 is for bicycles, channel 25 is for pedestrians, channel 24 is for bicycles, channel 23 is for small motorbikes, for the opposite direction of traffic.

[0018] Figure 5 The multi-modal and multi-functional part of the two-way intensive traffic road is shown, consisting of (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ): a dedicated channel 13 for pedestrians, cyclists and small motorbikes (with infrastructure), a track 35 and 42 for two-way passenger tram 34 and 43, which is built underground along the road, a track 33 and 44 for two-way freight tram 30 and 45, which is built outside next to them, an elevator 46 for freight (containers) 31 and 47, an escalator 41, an underground ceiling 48, a second underground tunnel 36, tracks 38 and 39 for two subway trains 37 and 40.

[0019] Figure 6 The road longitudinal section along the road symmetry axis (D-D) is shown, which shows: a channel 13 for pedestrians, cyclists and small motorbikes (with roof 28), a staircase (escalator) 22 connecting the pedestrian channel with the ground road, a tram 43 track 42, a tram power grid 49, a staircase (escalator) 41 for passengers to the tram station, a subway train 40 and a subway track 39. Since the subway station has a lower density than the tram station, the subway station is not shown in this diagram. Data describing the invention

[0020] Figure 1 The two-way high-speed right-hand traffic mixed road is shown, in which the high-speed one-way traffic lanes 1 and 2 are connected to each other by low-speed lanes 7, 8, 9 and 11 with local meaning, and are connected to the systemically arranged structures. In order to make traffic safe and reasonable, it is recommended that the maximum driving speed on the first lane of the road (for lane changing only) be 50 km / h, the maximum driving speed on the second lane be 60 km / h, the maximum driving speed on the third lane be 80 km / h, and the maximum driving speed on the remaining lanes be 100 km / h. It is recommended that the driving speed on the lanes with local meaning be 20 km / h to 40 km / h.

[0021] The traffic flow order is described as follows.

[0022] If the driver is on the highway and plans to go to a target company, he / she needs to change lanes to the first open lane and, after slowing down, turn right into the local low-speed open lane 7 and lane 8. If the passenger needs to get on or off, the driver can park in the first lane on the designated lane 12 of this lane. Next, the driver can turn right into the parking lot 4 or turn right into the lane 11 and then drive into the opposite fast lane and make a U-turn back. If the driver needs to continue after the passenger gets off at the nearest drop-off point 12, he / she can make a U-turn at the mini roundabout 9 and then drive into the same direction high-speed lane through the right turn of the open lane 11. If the driver and passenger want to reach any company, the driver can drive into the parking lot 4 and, together with the passenger, safely enter the target company 3 along the pedestrian passage 6.

[0023] As can be seen from the above traffic flow order, people can drive in any desired direction on this road without left turns, which are very dangerous and reduce traffic safety and road capacity. On this road, it is particularly important to ensure that the trajectories of the vehicle flow and the pedestrian flow do not intersect.

[0024] Figure 2 A road with similar infrastructure is shown for left-turn traffic roads. The recommended driving speed and traffic flow order are similar to those described herein.

[0025] A reasonable question can be raised as to how pedestrians can access the adjacent commercial companies behind the traffic roundabout at the mini intersection 9? To ensure the traffic safety of pedestrians, the disabled, bicycle riders, and small motorcycles, pedestrian-only passages 13 have been built above the lanes with local importance in the longitudinal direction of the road between the buildings 3 from intersection to intersection, Figure 3 and Figure 4 ). Pedestrians can enter the passage through the stairs (escalators) 21 and 22, while the disabled enter the passage through the elevators 29. Depending on the traffic flow direction, the passage is divided into two parts - the right part for forward traffic and the left part for backward traffic. Both parts of the passage have three lanes. The right lane 17 and 25 of each lane are for pedestrian traffic, the middle lane 18 and 24 are for bicycle riders, and the left lane 20 and 23 are for small motorcycle traffic. Near each staircase, there are bicycle zones 16 and 26 and small motorcycle zones 19 and 27. The right staircase (escalator) is for pedestrians and bicycle riders, while the left staircase (escalator) is for small motorcycle riders. Bicycle riders and small motorcycle riders who have entered the pedestrian passage and rented their selected means of transport can ride for a selected distance. Upon reaching the desired location, they will park the means of transport in the designated location. The pedestrian passage has no intersections, and the different open lanes are separated from each other, so it is safe to travel on the pedestrian passage.

[0026] A large passenger and cargo flow is generated in the company and other passenger hubs. For the large passenger flow and the company's logistics services, four tracks with the infrastructure for passenger and freight tram traffic are installed underground along the road under the pedestrian path Figure 5 and Figure 6 ). The passengers can easily and safely enter the tram from the pedestrian path, the business area and the passenger boarding and disembarking points and can safely and comfortably return to these places.

[0027] The freight tram runs behind the passenger tram, thus not interfering with the passenger traffic. The loaders unload the delivered cargo in the company's specially prepared area, while loading the company's prepared products onto the tram. In addition, the freight tram can also be used for the removal of company waste. Thus, the freight tram not only reduces the traffic flow of trucks on the road and the pollution they emit, but also completely eliminates the traffic flow of trucks, except for ambulances, fire engines and street maintenance equipment.

[0028] According to the above-mentioned company logistics model along the road, the logistics of trade and service companies in small residential areas can also be solved.

[0029] For the large passenger flow transport service, tunnels with the necessary infrastructure for metro trains and high-speed passenger transport are installed under the tram tracks in the second underground space. Since the metro train stations coincide only with some tram stations and road intersections, these images show only the metro tunnels between the metro stations and the roads and carriages inside them.

[0030] These underground spaces can not only be used for passenger flow and company logistics, but also very conveniently, rationally and safely install engineering networks (power grid, water supply network, drainage network, communication network), storage facilities, and even serve as passenger safety spaces.

[0031] Based on the presented two-way road infrastructure and its possibilities of use, the following conclusions can be drawn that the two-way road is: - a dense high-speed traffic road, because the companies and other passenger hubs are rationally arranged on the road, which can be reached without obstacles by the nearest path; - a traffic-safe and high-throughput road, because the trajectories of different modes of transport, vehicles and pedestrian flows do not intersect each other; - an environmentally friendly road, because the underground trams not only rationally solve the problem of passenger transport and company logistics, but also reduce or even eliminate the resulting freight traffic, congestion and environmental pollution; - a multimodal traffic, because it creates rational conditions for the traffic flow of various transport modules, thus increasing the mobility of passenger flow; - rationality and versatility, as it creates a rational system of passenger communication, enterprise logistics, and provides a rational shelter for the population, and integrates the engineering network.
