Abstract

Traffic marking, as an important facility for traffic management, is of great significance in terms of regulating traffic order and improving traffic efficiency. In this paper, the work zone scenario with four lanes reduced to three lanes is constructed, and the effect of traffic markings on the traffic system is investigated using the Intelligent Driver Model (IDM) and two classical lane-changing models (the MOBIL model and the safety distance-based lane-changing model). These metrics such as traffic flow stability and traffic efficiency (i.e., productivity, travel time) are introduced to determine which traffic marking method (solid lines, dashed lines, and dashed-solid lines) is optimal. Based on the Rank Reversal Free (RRF) reordering method for indicator fusion, among three types of experimental scenarios, ones find that the system demonstrates superior traffic flow stability and traffic efficiency under the dashed-solid road marking scenario.
