ESTIMATING CAPACITY AND DELAY AT A SINGLE-LANE APPROACH, ALL-WAY STOP-CONTROLLED INTERSECTION

This paper presents the results of a study of single-lane approach, all-way stop-controlled intersections. Data have been collected for nearly 25 hr of operation for eight sites in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Estimates of the capacity and nature of the delay/flow rate relationship have been made for these sites. A methodology for analyzing operational performance is proposed. This study is part of a larger effort where data have been collected for 23 all-way stop-controlled intersections in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Iowa, Colorado, and Texas. In the next phase of this study, the effects of nonstandard conditions (number of approach lanes, pedestrians, heavy vehicles, etc.) will be considered.
