Abstract:Complex traffic node is the bottleneck of restricting the capacity and service level of urban road network. In order to improve its operation level at the system level, this paper discusses the "combination-hierarchy" design method for complex nodes. Firstly, it analyzes and defines the traffic conversion relationship contained in complex nodes; secondly, it elaborates the idea of "combination-hierarchy" analysis; finally, Taking Huizhou Fourth Ring East Road as an example, it applies the "combination-hierarchy" method to design complex nodes covering highway, expressway, trunk road and other road types, and verifies the effectiveness of the method Operability.
