UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTION THEORY
8.1 Introduction
Unsignalized intersections are the most common intersection
type. Although their capacities may be lower than other
intersection types, they do play an important part in the control
of traffic in a network. A poorly operating unsignalized
intersection may affect a signalized network or the operation of
an Intelligent Transportation System.
The theory of the operation of unsignalized intersections is
fundamental to many elements of the theory used for other
intersections. For instance, queuing theory in traffic engineering
used to analyze unsignalized intersections is also used to analyze
other intersection types.

a maneuver is, the longer are the critical gap and follow-up time
parameters. There has also been a suggestion that drivers
require a different critical gap when crossing different streams
within the one maneuver. For instance a turn movement across
a number of different streams may require a driver having a
different critical gap or time period between vehicles in each
stream (Fisk 1989). This is seen as a unnecessary complication
given the other variables to be considered.

the normal distribution.
The probability that an individual driver's critical gap will be
between ri and ai is F(ai) F(ri). Summing over all drivers, the
likelihood of a sample of n drivers having accepted and largest

first gap offered without rejecting any gaps, then Equations 8.8
and 8.9 give trivial results. The user should then look at
alternative methods or preferably collect more data.
Another very useful technique for estimating the critical gap is
Ashworths (1968) procedure. This requires that the user
identify the characteristics of the probability distribution that
relates the proportion of gaps of a particular size that were
accepted to the gap size. This is usually done using a Probit
analysis applied to the recorded proportions of accepted gaps.
A plot of the proportions against the gap size on probability
paper would also be acceptable. Again a log normal distribution
may be used and this would require the proportions to be plotted
against the natural logarithm of the gap size. If the mean and
variance of this distribution are E(ta) and Var(t
a ), then
Ashworths technique gives the critical gap as
where is an estimate of .
A better estimate of the can then be obtained from the
Equation 8.8 and the process continued until successive
estimates of and )2 do not change appreciably.
The mean, E(tc ), and the variance, Var(tc ), of the critical gap
distribution is a function of the log normal distribution

8.4.1 Capacity
The mathematical derivation of the capacity qm for the minor
stream is as follows. Let g(t) be the number of minor stream
vehicles which can enter into a major stream gap of duration t.
The expected number of these t-gaps per hour is 3600qp f(t)
where,
f(t) = statistical density function of the gaps in the
major stream and
qp = volume of the major stream.

If the major stream is random then a0 is equal to 1.25 and for
bunched major stream traffic, it is 1.15. The vehicles that are
stopped for a short period may be able to adjust their speed and
these vehicles have been considered to have a partial stop."
Troutbeck (1993) also developed estimates of the number of
times vehicles need to accelerate and move up within the queue.

In the 1985 edition of the HCM but not the 1994 HCM, it is used
as the measure of effectiveness. This is based on the fact that
average delays are closely linked to reserve capacity. This close
relationship is shown in Figure 8.19. In Figure 8.19, the average
delay, D, is shown in relation to reserve capacity, R. The delay
calculations are based on Equation 8.64 with a peak hour
interval of duration T= 1 hour. The parameters (100, 500, and
1000 veh/hour) indicate the traffic volume, qp, on the major
street. Based on this relationship, a good approximation of the
average delay can also be expressed by reserve capacities. What
we also see is that - as a practical guide - a reserve capacity
R > 100 pcu/h generally ensures an average delay
below 35 seconds.
Brilon (1995) has used a coordinate transform technique for the
"Reserve Capacity" formulation for average delay with
oversaturated conditions. His set of equations can be given by

and then i reduces to qi. Fisk (1989) extended this earlier work
of Tanner (1962) by assuming that drivers had a different critical

be an added complication it could be necessary if drivers are
crossing some major streams from the left before merging with
another stream from the right when making a left turn.

1) If there is a right-turn lane, q3 or q6 should not be considered.
2) If there is more than one lane on the major road, q2 and q5 are considered as traffic volumes on the right
lane.
3) If right-turning traffic from the major road is separated by a triangular island and has to comply with a
YIELD- or STOP-Sign, q6 and q3 need not be considered.
4) If right-turning traffic from the minor road is separated by a triangular island and has to comply with a
YIELD- or STOP-sign, q9 and q12 need not be considered.
5) If movements 11 and 12 are controlled by a STOP-sign, q11 and q12 should be halved in this equation.
Similarly, if movements 8 and 9 are controlled by a STOP-sign, q8 and q9 should be halved.
6) It can also be justified to omit q9 and q12 or to halve their values if the minor approach area is wide.
