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 observer notes that an approach to a pretimed signal, the time it will take the queue to clear after the start of the effective green (assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals and D/D/1 queuing applies) is 60 s. If the saturation flow rate is 1440 veh/h and the effective red time is 40 seconds, what is the maximum number of vehicles in a queue in a given cycle? Round off the final answer to whole number (no units).

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 cumulative arrival and departure curve of one cycle of an approach lane of a signalized intersection is shown in the adjoining figure. The cycle time is 50 s and the effective red time is 30 s and the effective green time is 20 s. What is the average delay?

An approach to a pretimed signal has 25 seconds of effective green. The approach volume is 500 veh/h and the saturation flow rate is 1400 veh/h. If the average vehicle delay is 20 seconds assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the cycle length (in seconds). Round off the final answer to whole number (no units).
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]
Cars have a long queue at a stop sign. If the total time delay queueing is one min., compute the traffic intensity if the service rate of the road is only 360 veh/ hr. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.

7.24 Vehicles arrive at an approach to a pretimed signalized intersection. The arrival rate over the cycle is given by the function v(t) = 0.22 + 0.012t [v(t) is in veh/s and t is in seconds]. There are no vehicles in the queue when the cycle (effective red) begins. The cycle length is 60 seconds and the saturation flow rate is 3600 veh/h. Determine the effective green and red times that will allow the queue to clear exactly at the end of the cycle (the end of the effective green), and determine the total vehicle delay for this approach over the cycle (assuming D/D/1 queuing).
At exactly 8:05AM, vehicles start to enter a single toll gate at rate of 7veh/min following deterministic distribution. Due to teller being late, the toll booth opened at 8:20AM having a service rate of 8.5veh/min. Determine the time of queue dissipation, total vehicles at queue dissipation, longest vehicle delay, longest vehicle queue, total vehicle delay, and average delay per vehicle.
