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- minutes period. The count interval was 20 seconds and the empirical adjustment factor 0.8. The total number of vehicles is 610, total number of vehicles in queue is 382, and the total number of stopped vehicle is 276. Assume the traffic density is 85 vehicles/km and the flow is 2650 vehicles/hr. Evaluate the following: i. each cycle Number of vehicles stopped per lane ii.

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING-TRAFFIC SIGNALS" Recent analysis at an approach to pre-time signalized intersection indicate that the volume-to-capacity ratio (v/c) is 0.8, htat saturation flow rate (s) is 1600 vehicles/hour, and the effective green time is 50 seconds. If the average delay, assuming D/D/1 is 11.25 seconds per vehicle, determine the arrival flow rate (vehicles/hour) and the cycle length.
The southbound approach of a signalized intersection carries a flow of 1000 veh/h/ln at a velocity of 50 mi/h. The duration of the red signal indication for this approach is 15 sec. If the saturation flow is 2000 veh/h/ln with a density of 75 veh/ln, the jam density is 150 veh/mi, determine the following: a. The length of the queue at the end of the red phase b.
