"Micro-modification"to Control Peak Traffic Congestion—Take the Tidal Lane of Wangjiang West Road in Hefei as an Example
The tidal phenomenon exists in traffic flow of Wangjiang West Road in Hefei,the status of lanes number cannot meet the de-mand of peak hours traffic flow,on the basis of the tidal lane set theoretical conditions,at the same time at the actual project character-istics,put forward the"road tide"and"intersection tide"two overall scheme and comparison,finally the use of"intersection tidal lanes"modification scheme,only for the main intersection import and export lanes for rebuilding.In the form of"minor operation",the operation saves the project cost,shortens the construction period,and effectively alleviates the congestion of the road peak hour after the site implementation.At the same time,considering that there was no case of tidal lanes set up in Hefei before the implementation of the project,the project introduced mobile guardrail for management.The whole project can be used as the publicity and pilot of tidal lanes,providing experience basis for the subsequent construction and promotion of tidal lanes within the city.
