Sentence examples for lane capacity from inspiring English sources

The M42 study – and variable speed running at times of congestion on the M25 – has also required us to think about the way we manage lane capacity.

Lane capacity reduction factors are required in order to capture this effect.

This paper presents a new approach for calculating straight lane capacity under mixed traffic conditions, especially in China.

The reductions applied are those recommended in the Highway Capacity Manual [13] which describes lane capacity reduction in terms of utilisation of remaining capacity, as given in Table 5.

The roundabout capacity equation is given as follows: C = A cdot e^{{( - B cdot v_{text{c}} )}}, (1 where C is lane capacity (veh/h), and v c is conflicting or circulating flow rate (veh/h).

When an incident is present, the capacity determining flow in the queue may be reduced locally through a reduction in the number of lanes available from n to m, and a reduction in average lane capacity, represented by a factor χ, arising from speed limit, police presence or 'lateral discomfort': {q}_b={q}_c=upchi mupmu (7).

And at the opening of the Bayonne Bridge that November, after remarking that its four-lane capacity would be sufficient for years to come, he said this: "The bridge has ample strength, however, so that at any time in the future, two or three more vehicular lanes may be added, thus increasing the vehicular capacity to at least 25,000,000 vehicles a year".

In the same way, Fig. 4 contains the probability distributions of the left-lane capacity for double-lane roundabouts; the probability distributions of right-lane capacity for the double-lane roundabouts were about the same of the single-lane roundabouts and for reasons of synthesis have not been reported.

The HCM multi-lane capacity model was also developed for the right-lane and the left-lane of a two-lane entry; the behavioral parameters are then related to each specific entry lane [21].

Figure 5 shows the probability distributions of left-lane capacity for major entries at turbo roundabouts, whereas Fig. 6 shows, by way of example, the probability distributions of entry capacity only for the left-lane on minor entries at turbo roundabouts; in this case entering vehicles face two antagonist traffic streams for which we made the assumption that Q ce  = Q ci.

where: C e = entry-lane capacity [pcu/h]; φ j = Cowan's M3 parameter, i.e. the proportion of the free traffic on the circulating stream; Q c = circulating traffic flow [pcu/h]; T c = critical headway [s]; T f = follow –up headway [s]; ∆ = minimum headway of major flow [s]; j, k, l, m = indices for the lanes on the circulatory roadway.
