To better prepare and guide both intersection planning and operations under different market penetration rates (MPRs) of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and traffic demands, this research estimates both the lane-level and intersection-level capacity. On the lane-level, adjustment factors for saturation headway and saturation traffic flow rate for each lane under different MPRs of CAVs are investigated. On the intersection-level, the maximum throughput function for different MPRs of CAVs is calibrated. With 100% CAVs, the saturation headways for the exclusive through lane, exclusive left-turn lane, and shared-right-and-through lane decrease by 55.8%, 48.9%, and 42.4%, respectively. The maximum throughput of the intersection with 100% CAVs increases by 70% compared to the scenario with only human driving vehicles (HDVs). Moreover, the maximum throughput increases rapidly after 60% MPRs of CAVs. The research could provide a solid reference for traffic engineers and planners in calculating the intersection capacity under different MPRs of CAVs.
