Abstract:This paper aimed to help to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of the intersection taking into account both safety and efficiency. The conflicts during turningright processes in the typical fourphase intersections were studied. The rightturn event chain model was built. And traffic conflicts and delay between rightturn motor vehicles and other motor vehicles, nonmotor vehicles, and pedestrians were analyzed in detail. The reliability method was introduced to quantify the safety from the perspective of probability while traffic delay was used to measure the efficiency. Besides, the Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the intersections to effectively calculate the reliability and delay of event chains. When assessing the intersections, the public psychological tolerance and intersection service level were referred to. This study can provide scientific basis for intersection optimization.
