Deterministic/point/vertical and shockwave/physical/horizontal queueing models are widely used in traffic operation to estimate vehicular queue length and delays at bottlenecks such as signalized intersections. The consistency between the two types of queueing model in terms of their estimation performance has been a subject of debate for decades. This paper reexamines the issue, typically with respect to oversaturated signal intersections, and demonstrates the consistency based on analytical studies and microscopic simulations. While fixed-location sensor data was dominating, it was hardly possible to construct the deterministic or shockwave queueing profile using real data. For this reason, either profile had significance only at a conceptual level and could not be put into practical usage. With the quick spread of mobile sensing data, however, the situation has drastically changed. In this context, this paper also intends to develop an efficient approach to the reconstruction of the deterministic and shockwave queueing profiles in a quasi-real-time manner using very limited mobile sensing data. Microscopic simulations with AIMSUN have demonstrated the efficiency of the approach as well as the analytical results obtained in this paper.

Queue length is one of the most important traffic evaluation indexes for traffic signal control at signalized intersections. Most previous studies have focused on estimating queue length, which cannot be predicted effectively. In this paper, we applied the Lighthill–Whitham–Richards shockwave theory and Robertson’s platoon dispersion model to predict the arrival of vehicles in advance at intervals of 5 seconds. This approach fully described the relationship between disparate upstream traffic arrivals (as a result of vehicles making different turns) and the variation of incremental queue accumulation. It also addressed the shortcomings of the uniform arrival assumption in previous research. In addition, to predict the queue length of multiple lanes at the same time, we integrated the prediction of the traffic volume proportions in each lane using the Kalman filter. We tested this model in a field experiment, and the results showed that the model had satisfactory accuracy. We also discussed the limitations of the proposed model in this paper.
