Abstract

Based on the left part of the T-crossing, this paper establishes a two-way, six-lane road system and studies the two cases whereby the U-turn lane is located in the left lane and the middle lane. The straight road and the curved road are divided into cells according to the actual vehicle trajectories, and the traffic lights are introduced at the T-crossing. The simulation is based on the NaSch model. The traffic flow of each lane is counted and analysed. The results show that when the U-turn lane is located in the left lane, it is beneficial to the U-turn vehicles. When the U-turn lane is in the middle lane, it is advantageous for vehicles intending to turn from right to left, but it has a great impact on the traffic flow of the three lanes on the right.
