Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of road traffic, in particular to a method and device for identifying the introduction of a bus lane into the passage of multi-passenger small cars. BACKGROUND

[0002] “Bus priority” is a basic policy for the development of urban transportation in China, and should be implemented as a long-term strategy. Setting up a bus lane and providing exclusive road rights for ground buses is a necessary measure to ensure bus priority. However, in practice, it is difficult to implement a bus lane in many cities. The channels that need to set up a bus lane are often already severely congested with social vehicles, and setting up a bus lane competes with social vehicles for road resources, causing further congestion of social vehicles, and the resistance to setting up a bus lane is large. Often, a bus lane is compromised and set up in a channel where both social vehicles and buses are relatively few, and the utilization rate of many bus lanes is not high. To optimize this phenomenon, some cities in China have introduced multi-passenger small cars into the passage of bus lanes.

[0003] Currently, there are the following problems in introducing multi-passenger small cars into bus lanes: first, only subjective judgment is used to allow some other social vehicles to enter the passage when there are few buses on the bus lane, which lacks data support and is difficult to apply; second, there is a lack of dynamic adjustment method, and there is no clear direction for the future passage rules of the bus lane after other social vehicles are introduced into the bus lane. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a method and device for identifying the introduction of multi-passenger small cars into the passage of a bus lane, to improve the transportation efficiency of the road and properly protect the bus priority of the lane.

[0015] If not, then determine the saturation level of the bus lane and the saturation level S of the private vehicle lane after introducing passenger cars carrying 3 or more people. s If the ratio is less than 60%, then it is determined that the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with 3 or more occupants.

[0016] If not, then determine whether the ratio of the saturation of the bus lane to the saturation of the private vehicle lane is less than 60% after introducing passenger cars with 4 or more passengers. If so, then determine whether the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with 4 or more passengers.

[0017] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0018] Determine whether the bus lane data and road infrastructure data within a fixed time period meet the preset conditions for introducing multi-occupant passenger vehicles to the bus lane.

[0019] If the ratio of the saturation of the bus lane to the saturation of the private vehicle lane is less than the saturation threshold after a certain number of passenger cars are introduced, then the bus lane is deemed suitable for introducing multi-passenger passenger cars.

[0020] Among them, the specific number is 2 or more people, 3 or more people, or 4 or more people.

[0021] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention also provide an identification device for allowing multi-occupant passenger vehicles to pass through bus lanes, comprising:

[0022] The data acquisition module is used to collect data on bus lanes and basic road data.

[0038] Specifically, the above bus lane data represents the current one-way bus passenger volume P of the bus lane. b Bus traffic flow q b Yes, the basic road data is the saturation S of the road segment for social vehicles. s .

[0039] Furthermore, to determine the inclusion conditions, the aforementioned bus lane data and road infrastructure data must meet S2:

[0040] S2: Determine the one-way bus passenger volume P b Is the bus traffic volume less than 2000 passengers per peak hour? (q) b Is the saturation S of the social vehicle lane segment less than 50 vehicles per peak hour? s Is the value greater than or equal to 0.8 during morning and evening rush hours?

[0041] Among them, the one-way bus passenger volume P b =q b *p b , where q b Bus traffic flow in the dedicated bus lane, expressed in vehicles / hour (p). b This represents the average number of passengers carried by a bus, expressed as people per bus.

[0042] Saturation of social vehicle lanes Where, q sTraffic volume in public lanes, expressed in pcu / h, CAP s The actual traffic capacity of the motor vehicle lane is expressed in pcu / h.

[0043] Bus lane saturation in, Q represents the flow rate of Class n buses (dedicated to public transport), expressed in vehicles per hour; n CAP represents the vehicle conversion factor for vehicle category n, where the conversion factor for large vehicles is 3.0, for medium-sized vehicles it is 1.5, and for cars it is 1.0; n represents large vehicle, medium-sized vehicle, or car. b The actual capacity of the bus lane is measured in pcu / hour.

[0044] Traffic volume of passenger cars carrying i people in the social lane The unit is pcu / h, where i = 1, 2, 3, 4…m, and m is the maximum number of passengers that a multi-occupant passenger vehicle can carry.

[0045] S3: Determine the saturation level of the bus lane after introducing a passenger car with 2 or more passengers sharing a ride. Saturation of social vehicle road sections S s Is the ratio less than 60%? Where j = 2, 3, 4...m, and m is the maximum number of passengers that a multi-occupant passenger vehicle can carry.

Saturation of social vehicle road sections S s Is the ratio less than 60%? Where j = 4, 5, 6...m, and m is the maximum number of passengers that a multi-occupant passenger vehicle can carry.

[0048] S6: If steps S2 and S3 above are satisfied simultaneously, it can be determined that the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with two or more occupants.

[0049] S7: If step S3 is not satisfied, but S2 and S4 are satisfied at the same time, then it can be determined that the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with more than 3 occupants.

[0050] S8: If steps S3 and S4 are not satisfied, but S2 and S5 are satisfied, then it can be determined that the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with 4 or more occupants.

[0051] S9: Dynamic evaluation: Traffic data is collected on bus lanes that introduce multi-occupant passenger vehicles on an annual or quarterly basis for evaluation. If any one of the conditions S6, S7, or S8 is met, it can be determined that the bus lane is suitable for introducing multi-occupant passenger vehicles; if S6, S7, and S8 are not met at the same time, it can be determined that the bus lane is no longer suitable for introducing multi-occupant passenger vehicles.

[0052] The bus lanes in this invention are suitable for the following configurations for multi-occupant passenger vehicles:

[0053] (1) The ground text "Bus Lane, Multi-occupant Lane" is painted on the starting section of the road and the time period of use is marked, and relevant traffic signs are set up accordingly.

[0054] (2) Cantilevered variable traffic signs are installed at the beginning of the road section to dynamically display signs indicating that 2+, 3+ and 4+ passenger cars can enter the bus lane as needed.

[0055] Example

[0056] Figure 2 The diagram shows a city road before the renovation. Road 1 is a main urban road with a dedicated bus lane on the outermost side. The intersection spacing is approximately 500 meters, and there are no openings for other vehicles along the route. The method for determining whether a dedicated bus lane is suitable for introducing high-occupancy passenger cars is as follows:

[0057] (1) Collect the motor vehicle traffic volume of the main road during peak hours, as shown in Table 1;

[0058] Table 1. Statistics on motor vehicle traffic volume arriving on main roads during peak hours.

[0059]

[0060] (2) The survey data is a section of a six-lane main road in a prefecture-level city in the Yangtze River Delta. The outer lane was changed to a bus lane. The distance between intersections is about 500 meters. There are no openings for social vehicles along the route.

[0061] (3) Road 1 is an urban arterial road, with the outermost lane being a bus lane. The distance between intersections is approximately 500 meters, and there are no openings for private vehicles along the route.

[0062] (4) The saturation of the social vehicle section 1 of Road 1 in the south-to-north direction during the morning peak is 0.92, and the saturation of the social vehicle section 2 of Road 1 in the south-to-north direction during the morning peak is 0.86. Both are greater than or equal to 0.8, which meets the condition.

[0063] (5) The one-way bus passenger volume P1 in the southbound direction of section 1 of Road 1 is 1302 passengers / peak hour, and the one-way bus passenger volume P1 in the southbound direction of section 2 of Road 1 is 1502 passengers / peak hour, which is less than 2000 passengers / peak hour, thus meeting the condition. The bus flow q1 in the southbound direction of section 1 of Road 1 is 31 buses / peak hour, and the one-way bus flow q1 in the southbound direction of section 2 of Road 1 is 36 buses / peak hour, which is less than 50 buses / peak hour, thus meeting the condition.

[0064] In summary, Figure 2 The urban road shown meets the conditions for converting a bus lane to accommodate high-occupancy passenger vehicles (HOVs). After determining that the conditions are met, the treatment method for the road segment needs to be determined. This method includes: painting the words "Bus Lane (HOV)" on the ground at the beginning of the road segment and indicating the usage time; installing cantilevered variable traffic signs at the beginning of the road segment to dynamically display indicators showing that 2+, 3+, and 4+ HOVs can enter the bus lane, as needed. The final conversion result is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0071] In addition, it is determined whether the ratio of the saturation of the bus lane to the saturation of the private vehicle lane after the introduction of passenger cars with two or more passengers is less than 60%. If so, it is determined that the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with two or more passengers.

[0072] If not, then determine the saturation level of the bus lane and the saturation level S of the private vehicle lane after introducing passenger cars carrying 3 or more people. s If the ratio is less than 60%, then it is determined that the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with 3 or more occupants.

[0073] If not, then determine whether the ratio of the saturation of the bus lane to the saturation of the private vehicle lane is less than 60% after introducing passenger cars with 4 or more passengers. If so, then determine whether the bus lane is suitable for introducing passenger cars with 4 or more passengers.

[0074] Furthermore, the device also includes a dynamic evaluation module, used to determine whether the bus lane data and road infrastructure data within a fixed time period meet the preset conditions for the introduction of multi-occupant passenger cars into the bus lane.

[0075] If the ratio of the saturation of the bus lane to the saturation of the private vehicle lane is less than the saturation threshold after a certain number of passenger cars are introduced, then the bus lane is deemed suitable for introducing multi-passenger passenger cars.

[0076] Among them, the specific number is 2 or more people, 3 or more people, or 4 or more people.
