To improve traffic efficiency and utilization of road resources and alleviate traffic congestion caused by imbalance of bidirectional traffic flow, in view of the conversion conditions of reversible lane function, the operating characteristics of associated intersections under dynamic reversible lanes are analysed in terms of capacity, and a reversible lane control model is constructed based on short-term traffic flow prediction. On this basis, the reversible lane segment clearing time and upstream and downstream signal control strategies under different states are studied. The collaborative control model of reversible lane clearing time and signal timing of associated intersections is established to obtain the optimal time for reversible lane function switching. Finally, using Chaoyang Road, Beijing, as an example, the effectiveness of the proposed model is verified by the simulation indexes of average vehicle delay and reversible lane clearing time. The results show that the optimized clearing efficiency exceeds 15% and the optimized average vehicle delay is reduced by more than 10%. Combined with the future traffic state, the traffic capacity and saturation flow are greatly improved, and the intelligent reversible lane control is better achieved.
