Data_Unconventional U-Turn Design Evaluation.xls

The data file includes two parts of data:
1) the field data collection at two intersections to calibrate the simulation
model; and 2) the simulation results for the unconventional U-turn design.

In the first part, data were collected from
two sites in Nanchang, China. In sheet "Field data collection1", the
data are used to calibrate the vehicle maneuvers at intersections in the
Vissim. The data contains the following variables: No. (which is the vehicle
number); Vehicle type; Turning start time; Turning end time; Turning time;
Average distance of turning; Speed of turning; Type of maneuver (i.e., U-turn
to left-most lane, U-turn to 2nd lane, or U-turn to 3rd lane); U-turn mode
choice (i.e., straight->U-turn->turn right, or turn
right->U-turn->straight). In the sheet "Field data
collection2", the data are used as inputs in the simulation model. Those
data are traffic parameters such as vehicle count and type in each turning-direction
(i.e., left, straight, right) at each of the four intersection approaches.

In the second part, data are those obtained
from the simulation. Key information such as travel time, delay, and number of
stops are provided. The comparison between UUT and DLT are also provided. We
provide those data so that interested authors can better understand our U-turn
design performance when combining the data with the contexts and figures/tables
provided in the manuscript.
