TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Use of simulation to analysis of impedance impact at unsignalized intersections JO - Transportation research circular A1 - Tracz, M A1 - Gondek, S SP - 471 EP - 484 VL - IS - E-C018 N2 - The paper presents a simulation model of the priority type intersection and its application to the study of various aspects of an impedance effect related to the hierarchical manner of vehicle departures. The first part describes submodels of the demand flows at unsignalized intersection approaches. The second part presents results of simulation studies of impacts on impedance of the following factors: movements of the 3rd and 4th rank, selected traffic parameters and filtering of flow demands by traffic signals. The studies gave a basis for development of a general model of impedance impacts and allowed deriving functions correcting the total impedance effect.
