The invention discloses a method for calculating the
traffic capacity in a city expressway entrance interlacing region, and aims at filling a gap that there is short of a calculation method for effectively estimating the
traffic capacity. The method comprises the following steps: 1, collecting related traffic parameters of an expressway interlacing region: 1), the mean
time headway (shown in the description) of the
traffic flow of an expressway
trunk line Ls; 2), a
critical time gap tC which allows ramp vehicles to merge into the expressway
trunk line Ls; 3), the
time headway th between two ramp vehicles; 4), the flow Q of the expressway
trunk line Ls; 5), the distance L between a
nasal tip N and a merging point of an accelerating vehicle La; 6), the
design speed V1 of the expressway
trunk line Ls; 7), the
design speed V of a ramp; 2, calculating the probability distribution parameter K of the
time headway of the expressway
trunk line Ls; 3, building a method for calculating the
traffic capacity of the ramp R; 4, improving the method for calculating the traffic capacity of the ramp R; 5, calculating the traffic capacity of the interlacing region through employing a formula (shown in the description), wherein CM is the traffic capacity of the interlacing region, the unit is vehicles / hour, and
delta t is the time different of the ramp vehicle M2 and a
trunk line vehicle M1 (unit is second).
