An observer notes that an approach to a pretimed signal has a maximum of eight vehicles in a queue in a given cycle. If the saturation flow rate is 1440 veh/h and the effective red time is 40 seconds, how much time will it take this queue to clear after the start of the effective green (assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals and D/D/1 queuing applies) (in seconds)?

The saturation flow for an intersection approach is 3600 veh/h. At the beginning of cycle no vehicles are queued. The signal is timed so that what the queue is 13 vehicles the effective green begins. If the queue dissipates 8 seconds before the end of the cycle and the cycle length is 60 seconds. What is the arrival rate assuming D/D/1 queuing?
The uniform arrival and uniform service rates observed on an approach road to a signalized intersection are 20 and 50 vehicles/minutes, respectively. For this signal, the red time is 30 s, the effective green time is 30 s, and the cycle length is 60s. Assuming that initially there are no vehicles in the queue, the average delay per vehicle using the approach road during a cycle length (in seconds, round off to 2 decimal places) is
An approach to a pretimed signal has 25 seconds of effective green, a saturation flow of 1300 veh/hr, and a volume to capacity ratio less than 1.0. If the cycle length is 60 seconds and Allsop's delay formula estimates a delay of 34 sec/veh higher than the estimated using D/D/1 delay formula, determine the vehicle arrival rate (in veh/hr). Round off answers to 2 decimal places.

TRANSPORTATION ENGINNERING-TRAFFIC SIGNALS An approach to a predetermined signal has 25 seconds of effective green for a 60 second cycle. The approach volume is 500 vehicles/hour and the saturation flow rate is 1400 vehicles/hour. Calculate the average vehicle delay using D/D/1 queing.
Traffic demand shown in the figure below uniformly arrives at an intersection. Determine the optimal cycle length and split for the 2- phase signal control. The saturation flow rate of each approach is 2000 [veh/hr of effec-tive green] during the first 40 [sec] after the start of green, but it drops to 1900 [veh/hr of effective green] thereafter. Also, the lost time is assumed to be 5 [sec/phase]. 1000[veh/h] 300[veh/h] 500[veh/h] 1300[veh/h]
An approach to a pretimed signal has 30 seconds of effective red, and D/D/1 queuing holds. The total delay at the approach is 83.33 veh-s/cycle and the saturation flow rate is 1000 veh/h. If the capacity of the approach equals the number of arrivals per cycle, determine the approach flow rate and cycle length.
