Abstract
The headway of vehicles entering an intersection is closely related with the saturation flow rate and is a basic parameter required for determining the saturation headway and the start-up lost delay. Since such headway value reflects the drivers' behaviors and features of the intersection, all intersections don't have an equal value, but are affected by number and location of their lanes, changing types, local characteristics and time zone. Accordingly, this study attempted to suggest proper values on the basis of data by investigating headway in lanes. Number of exclusive through lanes was divided into single lane, double lanes and triple lanes, the locations of lanes were divided into inside lane, central lane and outside lane. As a result of investigating the headway, single through lane, double through lanes-inside lane, and triple through lane-outside lane showed as 1.73 sec., 1.71 sec. and 1.93sec., respectively. The result of calculating the area factor of business areas by fixing 1.00 for the residental area and applying relation between headway and saturation flow rate was 0.96. In the case of start-up lost delay lead dual left turn and directional separation were 1.41 sec. and 3.27 sec., respectively, showing the great difference. Therefore, different start-up lost delay according to changing type should be applied.
