Game Theory Model of Traffic Participants within Amber Time at Signalized Intersection

Table 5

Logical interpretations for the value of the revenues.

Serial number	Game strategies		Logical interpretations
	Traffic administration	Drivers	Traffic administration	Drivers
1	Passing forbidden	—	Vehicles are forbidden to pass during amber light, so no revenues were produced.	Vehicles are forbidden to pass during amber light, so no revenues were produced.
2	Passing permitted	Obeying the rules	Vehicles are permitted to pass during amber light, safety of each driver is protected, and the utilization efficiency of the green light is guaranteed; the traffic capacity of the intersection is improved. Safety efficacy and time efficiency can both be possessed by the traffic administration.	Vehicles are permitted to pass during amber light, each driver can make full use of green time and obtain adequate decision-making and operation time during the amber light, and thus drivers acquire both safety efficacy and time efficiency.
3	Passing permitted, punishment	Violating the rules	Vehicles are permitted to pass during amber light, the utilization efficiency of the green light is guaranteed, and the traffic capacity of the intersection is improved. Jaywalking phenomenon arises and punishment measures are taken by traffic administration, which provide time efficiency and penalty for traffic administration.	Vehicles are permitted to pass during amber light, and each driver can make full use of green time; however, drivers commit jaywalking to pursue higher time efficiency and thus drivers obtain higher time efficiency and minus punishments value.
4	Passing permitted, free of punishment	Violating the rules	Vehicles are permitted to pass during amber light, the utilization efficiency of the green light is guaranteed, and the traffic capacity of the intersection is improved. Jaywalking phenomenon arises, but there are no punishment measures taken; thus the traffic administration obtains time efficiency only.	Vehicles are permitted to pass during amber light, and each driver can make full use of green time; however, drivers commit jaywalking to pursue higher time efficiency, and thus drivers obtain higher time efficiency and avoid the punishment.
