Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

Question

An investigation was conducted to determine
the delay at Sohar downtown intersection. The
traffic signal at the intersection operates with
a cycle time of two minutes. The test was
conducted on the 2 lane road over a 15-

Highway Engineering: Theory of Traffic Flow
The traffic from a suburban area to a city uses the following five shorter routes, as shown below. Access from Suburban Route 4 Route 1 Route 5 Route 2 Route 3 Access to City The models below show the travel time as a function of traffic flow on each route. t₁ = 18 + 4.5 x₁ t₂ = 21+ 7.0 x₂ t3 = 26 + 4.9 x3 t4 = 29+ 3.4 x4 t5 = 34 + 0.3 x5 Where: t; is travel time on route 'i' (in minutes) and x; is traffic flow on route 'i' (in 1000 vehicles).

Tubibi Highway is a Class II Two-lane highway that is considered a level terrain. Based on the data, 1,631 passenger cars travel on average per hour for both directions with a directional split of 50/50. A maximum of 388 passenger cars is recorded within a 15-min time segment of the peak hour. The traffic stream contains 2% large trucks, 3% buses, and 3% recreational vehicles. Determine the opposing direction flow rate in pc/hr. Answer in two decimal places. 2,953.65 776 margin of error +/- 0.5
In a traffic safety study to reduce pedestrian-vehicle accidents on a level road segment, it was estimated that by a video camera that vehicles moved during deceleration an average distance of 60 m at the moment before hitting pedestrians. If the average speed on this segment is 80 kph, compute the maximum safest speed of vehicles on this segment assuming a deceleration rate of vehicles is 3.4 m/s². Answer: v= 72.7 kph
The average queue length at the intersection of the two roads with a stop sign is 4 vehicles. If the arrival rate of vehicles at the stop sign is 300 veh/hr, determine the service rate of the road in 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).
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?
Q2: What are the assumptions for using the equations in the queue test? Q3: A signalized intersection, of 105 sec cycle length, the east approach has an effective green time of 20 sec, and the percentage of vehicles arriving during green time is 28%. The west approach has 16 sec green time and 32% of vehicles arriving during the green time. Determine which approach is best coordinated with the upstream signal.

NEED FAST AND COMPLETE
Recent computations at an approach to a pretimed-signalized intersection indicate that the volume-to-capacity ratio is 0.8, the saturation flow rate is 1600 veh/h, and the effective green time is 50 seconds. If the uniform delay is 11.25 seconds per vehicle, determine the arrival flow rate (in veh/h) and the cycle length.
