Select the true items related to traffic signal design. Select only the four correct answers. For the dissipation of queue, the average saturation flow should be smaller than arrival flow. Intergreen is the time duration from the end of green time of a particular phase to the beginning of green time for the other phase. Average saturation flow is smaller than saturation flow.

In Problem 7.1, the following additional information is known: the lost time per phase is 5 seconds, there are two lanes for N/S through and right turn traffic, one lane in each of the other traffic movements shown in Table 7.6 (the table for Problem 7.1). Each lane is 12 ft wide, and the approaching speed for E/W street is 30 ft/s while that for N/S street is 20 ft/s. The width of all the crosswalks at that intersection is 10 ft wide, and there are typically 10 pedestrians crossing either street in any one phase. (d) Using the timing value after pedestrian green time check, compute: i. The average delay per movement. ii. The average delay per phase. iii. The overall intersection delay. iv. Determine the level of service per phase and for overall intersection.

At a specified point on a highway, vehicles are known to arrive according to a Poissonprocess. Vehicles are counted in 30-second intervals, and vehicle counts are taken in 120 ofthese time intervals. It is noted that no cars arrive in 18 of these 120 intervals. a) Approximate the number of these 120 intervals in which exactly three cars arrive. b) Estimate the Percentage of time headways that will be 10 seconds or greater andthose that will be less than 6 seconds.
