    Bariyerli otoyol gişelerinin trafik akımına etkisi: İstanbul Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu örneği
    (Osmaniye Korkut Ata Üniversitesi, 2022-07-30) Aksoy, Göker; Çakıcı, Ziya
    Bu çalışma bariyerli, nakit ve otomatik ödeme sistemlerinin birlikte kullanıldığı otoyol çıkış gişelerinin trafik akımına olan etkisini ele almaktadır. Gişelerde, nakit ödeme yapan sürücüler tamamen durarak ödemelerini yapmakta, otomatik ödeme sistemine sahip olan araçlar ise hızlarını düşürerek ve yalnızca bariyerin açılmasını gözeterek geçiş yapabilmektedir. Ayrıca, sürücüler, karma ödeme sistemlerinin yanında farklı araç tiplerinin kullanımıyla da artan servis süreleriyle karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, gişelerdeki servis süreleri, İstanbul Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu‘ nun Alemdağ gişeleri göz önünde bulundurularak, VISSIM benzetim programı ile farklı senaryolar altında incelenmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, otoyol ücretinin nakit ödenmesi durumunda servis sürelerinin araç tipine göre değişiklik gösterdiği ve bu sürelerin 6.1 sn ile 66 saniye arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, talebin düşük olması durumunda, ardışık otomatik ödeme sistemini kullanan taşıtların birbirine etkisinin neredeyse bulunmadığı, nakit ödeme yapan kullanıcıların ise diğer taşıtlar üzerinde önemli etkileri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, 2000 tşt/sa/şrt‘ lik talep olması ve tüm taşıtların nakit ödemeyi tercih etmesi durumunda 48 dakikalara varan gecikmelerin yaşanabileceği bulunmuştur.

    The investigation of the effect of saturation flow on the average vehicle delay at signalized intersections
    (Izmir Democracy University, 2021-12-18) Çakıcı, Ziya; Aksoy, Göker
    Saturation flow (s) is one of the most important parameters used for determining of signal timings at signalized intersections. Therefore, this parameter directly affects the various intersection performance criteria such as queue length, average delay, the level of service and capacity. In this study, determination of the effect of saturation flow rate on the average vehicle delay is aimed. In the scope of the study, firstly, an optimization model which minimizes the average vehicle delay at the intersection is set. Then, a software which optimizes the signal timings at the intersection by using Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA) is prepared in MATLAB environment. In the second stage, 15 traffic volume scenarios which have different total traffic volume from each other for a four-leg signalized intersection are created in order to test different traffic cases. Created scenarios are classified in 3 groups as Low Volume (LV), Moderate Volume (MV) and High Volume (HV). In the next stage, each scenario is analyzed considering 9 different saturation flow rates (s=1600, 1650, 1700, 1750, 1800, 1850, 1900, 1950, 2000 vehicle/hour/lane), separately. In case of implementing of these saturation flow rates, obtained signal optimum timings and average vehicle delay for each scenario are evaluated in details. In the last stage of the study, the average vehicle delays obtained by using s=1800 vehicle/hour/lane which is frequently encountered in many studies in the literature are compared with the average vehicle delays obtained by using other saturation flow rates, relatively. As a result of the comparisons, it is determined that the differences between average vehicle delays are quite low (between -0.9% and +1.2%) in case of Low Volume. In case of Moderate Volume, differences between -20.8% and +37.2% are seen. In case of High Volume, it can be said that the differences change between -41.4% and +116.3%. This situation clearly demonstrate that accurate and faultless measurement of saturation flow rate is quite important in terms of the performance of the intersection, especially in case of moderate and high volume.

    Examination of delay and travel time at highway toll booths using a micro simulation program: example of Northern Marmara Highway Kurnaköy
    (2022-04) Özdemir, Ümitcan; Gürsoy, Mustafa; Aksoy, Göker
    The aim of this study is to reveal that barrier toll booths are inefficient in terms of delay and travel time when compared to non-barrier toll booths. In our study, Kurnaköy toll booth, on the Northern Marmara Highway, was examined. The toll booth was modeled using the PTV Vissim micro simulation program. Currently, 8 toll booths are in active service and are operated with barriers. As an alternative to the current operation, 4 different operations were modeled: 8 toll booths without barriers, 10 toll booths without barriers, 12 toll booths without barriers and finally 4 toll booths with free passage system. The designed models were run under 3 different demand levels as low, medium and high, and compared using the PTV Vissim program. When the current barrier toll booth and the non-barrier operations were compared with medium demand, it was seen that there is a significant difference in delay. A bottleneck problem was also encountered due to the geometry of the barrier-free toll booth operation. The optimum operation was found by comparing the alternative operations.

    Investigation of the relationship between upstream and on-ramp flows at downstream capacity level on Istanbul freeway merges
    (Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2021-03-04) Aksoy, Göker; Öğüt, Kemal Selçuk
    Traffic congestion usually occurs at freeway merges due to the inequality of lane numbers at upstream and downstream. The freeway entry, defined as on-ramp, is the main cause of this irregularity and in order to clarify its effect, three freeway merges are investigated in this study with macroscopic flow parameters where a variety of geometric properties are present. In each merge, when the capacity flow is achieved at downstream, the on-ramp and upstream flows are determined and the relationship between upstream flow rate and ‘on-ramp ratio’, which is calculated by dividing the on ramp flow rate to the sum of on-ramp and upstream flow rates, is investigated. An inverse relationship is determined between total upstream flows (upstream flow plus on-ramp flow) with respect to on-ramp ratio. As a result, the merge with one lane drop and three-lanes at downstream seems to be least influenced type while the merge with two lanes drop and four lanes at downstream is the highest. For the former, 1% increase in on-ramp ratio causes a reduction of 20 pcu/h/lane on sum of total upstream flows while for the latter 26 pcu/h/lane. It is seen that the term on ramp ratio, can be quite useful variable for establishing capacities of freeway merges with the help of upstream and on-ramp traffic demands.
