EVALUATION OF AVERAGE EFFECTIVEVEHICLE LENGTH IN QUEUE
New England Section ITE Technical Committee
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Intersection analysis summaries generally include three measures of effectiveness (MOE’s),including average delay, volume-to-capacity ratio and queue lengths per lane. The latter value,queue length, is essential to the design of storage lengths for each lane. This calculation, ifoverstated, often leads to overdesign resulting in unnecessary construction to provide the storage,and in turn significant cost implications.
Several methodologies are available to estimate queue length, both manual and electronic. Mostcommon are: 95th percentile queue, or “maximum queue”; and 50th percentile queue, or “averagequeue”. In either case, the calculation requires two steps, either directly or indirectly. First is theestimate of the number of vehicles in the queue. Second is the assignment of an averageeffective length per passenger car equivalent (pce). In years past, the assumption of 20 feet pervehicle was a standard, 25 feet per vehicle has become more accepted. The focus of this project,conducted by the New England Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (NEITE)Technical Committee, will be to identify an appropriate assumption for the average effectivelength of a passenger car equivalent in queue.
METHODOLOGY
The NEITE Technical Committee conducted observations to identify intersections that exhibitedthe following characteristics:
· Under traffic signal control· Lane(s) with queues of ten or more vehicles per signal cycle· Exclusive left turn lanes, if the left turn volume is heavy· Locations in urban and suburban communities
Eight intersections, four in urban and four in suburban locations, were selected for this project.In addition, all intersections consisted of four approaches. Aerial photos of the intersections areprovided in the appendix of this report. The intersections include:
Urban Locations
· Commonwealth Avenue at Babcock Street, Boston, MA· Massachusetts Avenue at Boylston Street, Boston, MA· Massachusetts Avenue at Beacon Street, Boston, MA· Boylston Street at Bowker Overpass, Boston, MA
2
Suburban Locations
· University Drive at Amity Street, Amherst, MA· Fellsway East at Pond Street and West Wyoming Avenue, Stoneham, MA· Main Street at Spring Street, Medfield, MA· Salem Street at Maplewood Street and Lebanon Street, Malden, MA
Observers pre-marked distances from the STOP line with chalk, and for each cycle counted thenumber of vehicles in a queue while measuring the distance from the STOP line. The number offeet divided by the number of queued vehicles yielded the average storage length per vehicle forthat cycle.
A Queue was discarded if a bus or heavy vehicle was present within the first 8 vehicles of thequeue during a signal cycle.
Two observers were assigned to each intersection, with each responsible for two approaches.During a one-hour period each observer alternated fifteen minute periods between their twoapproaches.
ANALYSIS
Upon review of field sheets for accuracy, a common anomaly was noted. On several cycles itwas noted that vehicles did not queue as expected. Examples include the following:
· A vehicle would leave a space betweenthe automobile in front equal to a carlength for no apparent reason.
· A vehicle would leave a space betweenthe automobile in front equal to a carlength to avoid blocking a driveway.
· The lead vehicle in the queue wouldpull up significantly beyond the STOPline.
3
· The lead vehicle in the queue wouldpull up significantly short of the STOPline.
In these cases a measurement from the STOP line to the end of the queue may not accuratelydescribe the storage length required for the number of vehicles counted. One thought would beto treat a space between vehicles as if it were occupied by another vehicle. Alternately, it couldbe assumed that these “anomalies” are actually commonplace and no adjustment would benecessary. It is also possible that, when considering all of the data, these anomalies will result inno significant difference. Unfortunately, these anomalies were noted after a review of collecteddata, and were not documented in sufficient detail to analyze with any significance. Inclusion ofthis factor might be considered in a follow-up study.
FINDINGS
Data will be stratified by each individual intersection, for Urban vs. Suburban locations, and forall eight intersections. Tables containing the raw collected data are included in Appendix A ofthis report.
Urban Locations
· Commonwealth Avenue at Babcock Street, Boston, MA
Figure 1 shows that the average queue length per vehicle is approximately 26 feet forvehicles traveling eastbound on Commonwealth Avenue, and 25 feet for vehiclestraveling westbound.
· Massachusetts Avenue at Boylston Street, Boston, MA
Figure 2 indicates that vehicles approaching on Massachusetts Avenue northboundand southbound are each averaging approximately 22 feet per vehicle. Boylston Streeteastbound traffic is approximately 23 feet per vehicle, while westbound is atapproximately 19 feet per vehicle.
· Massachusetts Avenue at Beacon Street, Boston, MA
Figure 3 shows that the average effective length per vehicle for traffic onMassachusetts Avenue is approximately 23 feet northbound and just under 21.5 feetsouthbound. Beacon Street westbound traffic averages approximately 21.5 feet pervehicle.
4
· Boylston Street at Bowker Overpass, Boston, MA
Figure 4 indicates that the average effective length per vehicle is approximately 22feet, 23 feet and 22 feet for vehicles approaching on Bowker Overpass southbound,Boylston Street eastbound, and Boylston Street westbound, respectively.
Suburban Locations
· University Drive at Amity Street, Amherst, MA
Figure 5 indicates that traffic on each of the four approaches average between 23.5feet and 25.2 feet per vehicle.
· Fellsway East at Pond Street and West Wyoming Avenue, Stoneham, MA
Figure 6 shows that the average queue length per vehicle ranges betweenapproximately 23.5 feet and 25.5 feet for each approach.
· Main Street (Route 109) at Spring Street, Medfield, MA
Figure 7 indicates that the average effective vehicle length on Spring Streetsouthbound is approximately 22 feet. The remaining three approaches range from23.5 feet to 25.2 feet per vehicle.
· Salem Street at Maplewood Street and Lebanon Street, Malden, MA
Figure 8 shows that average effective vehicle length for approaching traffic on theMaplewood Street northbound approach and the Salem Street westbound approach areapproximately 20.2 feet and 20.1 feet, respectively. The Lebanon Street southboundand the Salem Street eastbound approaches are approximately 25 feet per vehicle.
Aggregated Data
Figure 9 presents the average effective vehicle lengths aggregated for all urbanlocations, all suburban locations, and all studied locations. The average effectivevehicle length at urban locations is approximately 22.5 feet. At suburban locations,the average effective vehicle length is 24 feet. The average effective vehicle length forall locations studied is 23.2 feet.
CONCLUSIONS
The data indicate that the average effective length of a vehicle in queue is slightly shorter aturban locations than at suburban locations, but the difference is negligible. The 23.2 footaverage effective vehicle length calculated for all studied intersections indicates that theassumption of 25 feet per passenger vehicle equivalent used in queue calculations is valid.
