Question

An intersection has a three-phase signal with the movement allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in the table below. Assume the lost time is 4 seconds per phase and a critical intersection v/c of 0.90 is desired

Phase

             1

              2

                             3

Allowed Movement

NB L, SB L

NB T/R, SB T/R

EB L, WB L

EB /T/R, WB T/R

Analysis Flow Rate

330, 365 veh/h

1125, 1075 veh/h

110, 80 veh/h

250, 285 veh/h

Saturation Flow Rate

1700, 1750 veh/h

3400, 300 veh/h

650, 600 veh/h

1750, 1800 veh/h

Calculate the Following:

1.)Sum of flow ratios for critical lane groups

2.)minimum cycle length

3.)using v/c equation ratio, calculate the effective green time for phase 1

4.)using v/c equation ratio, calculate the effective green time for phase 2

5.)using v/c equation ratio, calculate the effective green time for phase 3
