- 4) Traffic on the eastbound approach of a signalized intersection is traveling at 35 mi/hr, with a density of 46 veh/mi/In. The duration of the red signal indication for this approach is 30 sec. If the saturation flow is 1900 veh/h/In with a density of 52 veh/mi/In, and the jam density is 125 veh/mi/In, determine the following: (i) The length of the queue at the end of the red phase (ii) The maximum queue length (iii) The time it takes for the queue to dissipate after the end of the red indication.arrow_forwardAn approach at a signalized intersection with a 60-second cycle gets 30 seconds of displayed green time. Yellow time is 4 seconds and all-red is 2 seconds (lost time is to be determined from standard assumptions). At the beginning of an effective red there are 4 vehicles in the queue and the saturation flow is 876 veh/h. The arrival rate is given by v(t) = 0.20 - 0.002t [with v(t) in veh/s and t in seconds after the beginning of the effective red]. What is the average vehicle delay for this approach in seconds at the end of the cycle (until the next effective red) that started with the 4 vehicles queued at the beginning of the effective red? (Assume D/D/1 queueing. Please provide you answer in decimal form without units)arrow_forwardAn 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.arrow_forward
- 7.12 The saturation flow rate of an approach to a pretimed signal is 6000 veh/h. The signal has a 60-second cycle with 20 seconds of effective red allocated to the approach. At the beginning of an effective red (with no vehicles remaining in the queue from a previous cycle), vehicles start arriving at a rate v(t) = 0.4 +0.01t + 0.00057+² (where v(t)) is in vehicles per second and t is the number of seconds from the beginning of the cycle). 30 seconds into the cycle the arrival rate remains constant at its 30-second level and stays at that rate until the end of the cycle. What is the total vehicle delay over the cycle (in vehicle- seconds), assuming D/D/1 queuing?arrow_forwardRecent 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.arrow_forwardVehicles arrive at an intersection approach at 550 veh/h at the beginning of an effective red and 15 vehicles are left in the queue from the previous cycle (end of the effective green). Due to peak hour congestion, the arrival rate increases 50 veh/h/min. Therefore after 1 minute, the arrival rate will be 600 veh/h, after 2 minutes it is 650 veh/h. The saturation flow rate of the approach is 1800 veh/h, the cycle length is 65 seconds, and the effective green time is 30 seconds. Determine the total vehicle delay until complete queue clearance.
