| Summary: | Unsignalised intersections play an important role in determining capacity of
road network. Two major parameters used in unsignalised intersection analysis are
critical gap and follow
-
up time. There are several factors affecting the critical gap
and the fol
low
-
up time such as vehicle composition, intersection geometry, major
street traffic volume, minor street delay, minor stream approach grade, and others. In
this research, the critical gap and the follow
-
up time were analyzed based on vehicle
type,
specifi
cally
passenger car an
d motorcycle. C
ritical gap estimations were based
on the Maximum Likelihood method
. T
hese two major factors will be use
d
to
estimate the level of service and capacity of unsignalised intersections. Malaysian
Highway Capacity Manual (M
HCM) was produced based on the
traffic
condition in
We
st Malaysia. The study is to find out the application of MHCM
in Sarawak.
Sensitivity analysis is being carried out by using MHCM 2006. |
