Abstract

The paper presents results of research on the influence of the waiting time of drivers of subordinate movement on the time duration of the accepted gap and the number of vehicles using it to continue their journey at selected median, uncontrolled T-intersections with two two-lane main roadways, located in the Upper Silesian agglomeration. Facilities located within and outside built-up areas were selected for analysis. A two-stage waiting model was proposed for drivers of subordinate movements. With regard to the analysis of the number of vehicles merging or crossing the traffic and follow-up time, it was proposed to use a new indicator. A qualitative and quantitative study was conducted in the characteristics of traffic conditions and driver behaviour at selected intersections. The results of tests conducted in the afternoon rush hours confirmed the hypothesis about the lack of influence of drivers’ waiting time on the time duration of accepted gaps.
