To illustrate the working conditions of different intersections, the efficiency model was studied. Potential conflict intersection and actual conflict intersection were divided into two basic different types, whose efficiency models were developed both based on volume and speed. Comparison of efficiency between two types of intersections under different volume conditions shows: efficiency of actual conflict intersection was higher than that of the potential conflict intersection when the volume of the conflict traffic flows was low and lower when the volume of conflict traffic flows was relatively high. The conclusion indicates: efficiency index accords with the actual working condition and can be applied to the selection of different control modes.
