Preview Outline of Presentation New research on: Dynamic Reversible Left-Turn Lanes at Signalized Diamond Interchanges  Introduction  Motivation  Static pictures  Moving vehicle animation  Operational benefits  MUTCD-compliant design  Human factors study  Signal timing methods  Conclusions 2

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Introduction  Dynamic Reversible Left-Turn (DRLT)  Scope: signalized diamond interchanges  FHWA’s goal: make DRLT “practice-ready” −where to implement, safe signing-striping-signalization, signal timing design 3

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Motivation  Advantages vs. traditional diamond interchange −Reduced delay −Increased throughput −Eliminate queue spillover 4

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 8 Source: Krause et al. (2014) Operational Benefits  Maximum benefit scenario −LT on-ramp volumes are heavy and unbalanced −Heavy entering volumes −LT lane and multiple TH lanes needed in each direction

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 9 Operational Benefits  VISSIM model of real-world site −Route 100 at Coca Cola Drive −Howard County, Maryland  Geometric scenarios -Arterial # lanes: 4 and 6 -Bridge # lanes: 5 and 6 -Left-turn # lanes: 1 and 2  Traffic demand levels −v/c: 1.0 and 1.3  Best-case scenario −Throughput increased by 28% −Delays reduced by 60% Case Study: Paul Pitcher Memorial Highway

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 11 MUTCD-Compliant Design  Prevent crossing of paths (lane-changing collisions)  Prevent off-ramp vehicles from entering reversible lane(s)  Prevent vehicles from getting trapped in reversible lane(s)  Signing, striping, signalization must be safe during the OFF-PEAK period (when DRLT is turned off)  Advance warning of lane uses not defined by “default rules of the road”  Changes to the MUTCD may be needed?

12 Peak Period (DRLT active) Green Phase Red Phase

13 Off-Peak Period (DRLT disabled) Green Phase Red Phase

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Human Factors Study  Began in April 2016 at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center  Period of performance: 22 months  Deliverables: tech brief and final report Goals:  Develop, test, and evaluate traffic control devices (TCDs) for DRLTs  Use novel TCD treatments (e.g., changeable symbol signs, colored pavements, LED pavement markings) to prevent unsafe movements 14

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Human Factors Study Work Plan:  Human factors sign lab −Develop short list of promising TCD options  Driving simulator experiments with licensed drivers −Evaluate promising TCD options 15

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Human Factors Study 16  Sign Lab will use Autodesk Infraworks 360 −Animated movies show novel TCDs from a driver’s perspective −Roadway geometry can be exported as AutoCAD drawings to the FHWA driving simulator for further development

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Signal Timing Methods 17  Conventional methods might be inadequate −Dynamic lane modeling −Clearance time  Prototype method −Constraints −Research paper by Krause, Kronpraset, Bared, and Zhang ASCE Journal of Transportation Engineering (2014)

©2013 LEIDOS. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Conclusions  No known real-world implementations of DRLT  Significant operational benefits in simulation −Datasets available through the Saxton Lab!  Upcoming FHWA bottleneck primer will publish some of this material  Unanswered question: is DRLT safe? −Follow-on human factors study −Signal timing methods (co-authors?) 18
