Abstract

Conducting traffic control duties at urban intersections significantly affects the operating efficiency of traffic in peak hours. How to make a good personnel allocation plan is a very important issue for urban traffic management. Therefore, this study constructed a manpower demand evaluation model of three objectives and nine criteria based on two-stage questionnaire surveys. The relative weight of the criteria was determined by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The generalized score of this evaluation model can be used to measure the need of traffic control manpower for urban intersections. According to this generalized score and a practical rule-of-thumb, this study proposed the personnel allocation principles further. Finally, this study found that the proposed model and principles are feasible by applying to two cases of the Taipei Police Districts.
