Abstract:In response to the safety hazards of electric bicycle batteries for the non-motorized vehicle vertical traffic system on Minpu Third Bridge in Shanghai, the managers have implemented a test on the passenger-vehicle separation mode. The results show a significant decrease in traffic efficiency. Therefore, by analyzing the pressure test data, a discrete mapping relationship between transport capacity and controllable delay time is established. And the microscopic simulation is conducted with a delay target of 20 min. The results indicate that the estimation methods under different flow conditions have little difference from the results of microscopic simulation analysis, which can meet the demand for rapid estimation of transportation capacity. The proposed controllable delay prediction model and finite-queue discrete simulation method provide an effective tool for resource allocation in similar transport infrastructures, and also the future optimization direction considering the passenger flow variability and economic efficiency is identified. The research results have significant guiding significance for the expansion scale of non-motorized vehicle facilities in cross-river passages.
