Q2: An intersection approach has a cycle length of 110 sec and the effective green time is 45 sec. The arrival rate varies over tree cycles. The arrival rate is 1000 veh h during the first cycle, 800 veh/h during the second cycle, and 580 veh/h during the third cycle. The Question: Find the average delay for the approach over tree cycles, if the departure rate is 2500 veh/h.

Please estimate the minimum cycle length and the green intervals for the following signalized intersection (Figure 7). Please note that the minimum cycle length will be influenced by the design of the phasing diagram. The arrival flow, in pcu/h, for each direction, is illustrated in Figure 7. Please assume any missing values. Lost time following each phase = 2 sec, Amber = 3 sec, Red all = 1 sec, saturation flow 1400 pcu/h. 196, 367, 170 JIL! 400, 140, 215 716 120, 417, 232 400, 433, 184 Figure 7.

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.
PROBLEMS 2. The 15 minute-traffic counts on cross roads 1 and 2 during peak hour are observed as 178 and 142 vehicles per lane respectively approaching the intersection in the direction of heavier traffic flow. If the amber times required are 3 and 2 seconds respectively for two lanes based on approach speeds, design the signal timings by trial cycle method. Assume an average time headway of 2.5 seconds during green phase.
A pretimed four-phase signal has critical lane group flow rates for the first three phases of 200, 187, and 210 veh/h (saturation flow rates are 1800 veh/h/In for all phases). The lost time is known to be 4 seconds for each phase. Assuming X₁ = 0.9. If the cycle length is 60 seconds, what is the estimated effective green time of the fourth phase? 6.93 sec O 21.89 sec Ⓒ 7.78 sec Q 7.41 sec
An approach to a pre-timed signal has 40 sec of effective green in a 75-second cycle.The approach volume is 700 veh/h and the saturation flow rate is 1600 veh/h.Calculate the time to queue clearance after the start of the effective green, themaximum number of vehicles in the queue, the total vehicle delay per cycle andthe average delay per vehicle assuming D/D/1 queuing.
Compute the average approach delay per cycle, given the saturation flow rate of 2400 veh/h and is allocated 24 seconds of effective green in an 80-second signal cycle. Flow at the approach is 500 veh/h. Assume the traffic flow accounts for the peak 15-min period and that there is no initial queue at the start of the analysis period.
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?
A pretimed four-phase signal has critical lane group flow rates for the first three phases of 200, 187, and 210 veh/h (saturation flow rates are 1800 veh/h/ln for all phases). The lost time is known to be 4 seconds for each phase. Assuming Xi = 0.9. If the cycle length is 60 seconds, what is the estimated effective green time of the fourth phase?
Design a two phase traffic signal by using webster's method when the average normal flow of traffic on cross roads 1 and 2 during design period are 400 and 250 P.C.U/hr respectively. Also the saturations flow values are estimated as 1250 and 1000 P.C.U/hr and the all-red time required for crossing of pedestrian is 12 seconds.
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]
Problem-Traffic Engg. A two-phase signalized intersection is designed with a cycle time of 120 s. The amber and red times for each phase are 4 s and 50 s, respectively. If the total lost time per phase due to start-up and clearance is 2 s, the effective green time of each phase is s. (in integer)
