A Coordinated Allocation Method for Right-Turn Strategy at Signalized Intersections with Optimal Pedestrian and Vehicle Delays by Yu Bai, Wanyan Luo

“…With strict enforcement of pedestrian right of way at all intersections, the inappropriate right-turn resource allocation from a spatial and temporal perspective will lead to a reduction in the operational efficiency of the intersection. In this paper, three spatiotemporal resource allocation schemes for right-turning vehicles are proposed, considering the vehicle and pedestrian traffic efficiency in all directions of the intersection. …”
