Abstract

In order to improve the safety of expressway maintenance work area at night, taking the maintenance work area of two-way four lane Expressway in Anhui Province as an example, the traffic characteristics of the maintenance work area at night are analysed, and the variation characteristics of vehicle speed in the maintenance work area are studied, and the main factors affecting traffic safety are obtained. Based on the traffic flow theory and Greenshields speed density-linear relationship model, this paper analyses the correlation between the speed and traffic capacity in the maintenance work area. Through the simulation by VISSIM software, the speed limit value of the expressway maintenance work area in the day and night is obtained, which provides an important reference value for the expressway maintenance operation.
