Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of highway lane function control, and particularly but not limited to a method for setting a directional dedicated lane for a collection and distribution freight channel based on OD data. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, China's foreign trade has increased rapidly, and the international container throughput of coastal ports has grown at a high speed. However, compared with the development of the navigation operation system and the loading and unloading operation system, the construction of the collection and distribution system lags significantly. The infrastructure capacity of road transportation, which is the mainstream of the collection and distribution mode, is difficult to meet the needs of the rapid growth of the collection and distribution volume. Problems in the coordinated development of large container port areas and the rear collection and distribution road network continue to emerge, and the problem of mutual interference between collection and distribution traffic volume and urban traffic occurs generally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the traffic capacity of the collection and distribution freight channel through lane function control, especially the setting of directional dedicated lanes, which has received much attention recently.

[0003] At present, research on lane function control, especially the setting of directional dedicated lanes, is mostly based on urban road networks and lacks research on new application scenarios of collection and distribution freight highways. Secondly, most research often establishes a simulation model based on traditional traffic simulation software such as VISSIM and lacks theoretical model support.

[0004] In view of this, a new method is needed to solve at least part of the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0118] Select the east-west direction freight distribution and collection road section corresponding to "Xinbei Road - Gangcheng Avenue" as the analysis object. The OD pairs involved in this direction section include: Xinbei Road - Gangcheng Avenue, Xinbei Road - Ring Expressway, Xinbei Road - Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway, Xinbei Road - Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, Haitie Avenue - Gangcheng Avenue, Haitie Avenue - Ring Expressway, Haitie Avenue - Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway, Haitie Avenue - Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway, a total of 8 OD pairs. Classify the above OD into the following four categories: (1) Category A (ramp entry - ramp exit): Xinbei Road - Gangcheng Avenue; (2) Category B (ramp entry - straight exit): Xinbei Road - Ring Expressway, Xinbei Road - Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway, Xinbei Road - Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway; (3) Category C (straight entry - ramp exit): Haitie Avenue - Gangcheng Avenue; (4) Category D (straight entry - straight exit): Haitie Avenue - Ring Expressway, Haitie Avenue - Changchun-Shenzhen Expressway, Haitie Avenue - Beijing-Tianjin-Tanggu Expressway.

[0119] Sum the above OD by category to obtain the OD flow table after classification:

[0121] OD type Flow sum Type A 13239 Type B 23150 Type C 2504 Type D 19717 Total 58610

[0122] Step 3: For the "Xinbei Road - Gangcheng Avenue" section, calculate its traffic density.

[0123]

[0124] Regard the whole section as an weaving area. Take the interval average speed of all vehicles as the design speed of 80 km / h of the Tianjin Port freight distribution and collection channel, take the number of lanes as 8 lanes in both directions, and use the time uneven coefficient to correct the daily traffic volume data to obtain a traffic density of 30.52 pcu / km / lane. According to the weaving area service level standard in the Highway Capacity Manual, determine that the service level of the weaving area of this section is level four, and a directional dedicated lane needs to be set.

[0125] Table 3 Weaving Area Service Level Standard

[0126] Service level Traffic density, pcu / km / lane Level 1 ≤7.0 Level 2 7.0-18.0 Level 3 18.0-25.0 Level 4 ≥25.0

[0127] Calculate the total delay increment ΔD after setting the directional dedicated lane, where the number n0 of directional dedicated lanes set, the length S of the directional dedicated lane, and the traffic flow Q1(t) are variables to be optimized.

[0128]

[0129] Based on MATLAB, use the grid search method to solve the following optimization model:

[0130] min ΔD

[0131] such that \(0\leq S\leq S_0\)

[0132] Q OD \(\in M\)

[0133] v min \(v_1\leq v,v_2\leq v,v_3\leq v,v_4\leq v\) max

[0134] \(n_0\in\{1,2\}\)

[0135] Among them, on the urban expressway, the recommended value of \(S_0\) does not exceed 4 km. In the application scenario of the collection and distribution freight channel of the present invention, referring to the ratio of the average vehicle speeds of urban roads and the collection and distribution freight channel, the present invention stipulates that \(S_0 = 12\) km. The optimal total delay increment \(\Delta D\) is -2143 pcu·h. Since the total delay increment is less than 0, a directional dedicated lane can be set. The length \(S\) of the directional dedicated lane corresponding to the optimal solution is 7 km, and \(Q\) OD is 13239 pcu / d, and the number \(n_0\) of directional dedicated lanes set is 1. The corresponding layout plan of the directional dedicated lane is: set a 7-km-long "New North Road - Port City Avenue" OD directional dedicated lane on the section between the downstream of the ramp of New North Road and the ramp of Port City Avenue, as Figure 3 shown.

[0136] Step 4: Based on the time non-uniformity coefficient and the critical direction distribution coefficient, determine whether to set it as a time-limited directional dedicated lane and a tidal directional dedicated lane. Since the Tianjin Port collection and distribution freight channel project mainly serves freight transportation and there is no strong time regularity, the setting of a time-limited directional dedicated lane is not considered. In addition, since the freight volume coming and going to Tianjin Port is relatively uniform and considering the safety of trucks driving on the highway, a tidal directional dedicated lane is not set in this example.

[0137] Step 5: According to the setting standards of the starting point, ending point and warning signs of the directional dedicated lane, give the setting plan of the starting point, ending point and warning signs of the directional dedicated lane for the collection and distribution freight channel. For this example, set the starting point of the directional dedicated lane downstream of the confluence area of New North Road and the collection and distribution freight channel, and set the ending point of the directional dedicated lane at the ramp of Port City Avenue and the collection and distribution freight channel. And set directional dedicated lane warning signs at three places, namely 2 km, 1 km and 500 m before the confluence area of New North Road and the collection and distribution freight channel respectively.
