The inductive control method, of which the time and space distribution characteristics of intersection traffic flow were considered, was put forward to solve the problem. The current static traffic organization and timing control method possessed weak applicability for multi-state characteristic traffic flow. The inductive control was carried out by setting one or more multi-function entrance lanes (MFE) to enhance the efficiency of traffic organization at intersections, by installing vehicle induction coils and dynamic lane electronic guideboards. Traffic flow direction of MFE can be selected according to traffic flow changes in different directions. Certainly, the multi-function entrance lane provides queue space for vehicles to turn left, go straight, or turn right, and also provides priority for buses through the intersection. An example using the new inductive control method was simulated by the PTV traffic simulation software VISSIM, and the result shows that this method can decrease traffic delay and improve service level of intersections.
