An intersection approach has a saturation flow rate of 1500 veh/h, and vehicles arrive at the approach at the rate of 800 veh/h. The approach is controlled by a pretimed signal with a cycle length of 60 seconds and D/D/1 queuing holds. Local standards dictate that signals should be set such that all approach queues dissipate 10 seconds before the end of the effective green portion of the cycle. Assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals, determine the maximum length of effective red that will satisfy the local standards.
Compute the average approach delay per cycle, given the saturation flow rate of 2400 veh/h and is allocated 24 seconds of effective green in an 80-second signal cycle. Flow at the approach is 500 veh/h. Assume the traffic flow accounts for the peak 15-min period and that there is no initial queue at the start of the analysis period.
7. An approach at a pretimed signalized intersection is allocated 30 seconds of effective green in an
80-second signal cycle. The flow at the approach is 500 veh/h and the saturation flow of the
approach is 2500 veh/h. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, calculate: 1) the time needed to clear the queue,
2) the average delay per vehicle, and 3) the maximum delay of any vehicle.

- An observer notes that an approach to a pretimed signal has a maximum of eight vehicles in a queue in a given cycle. If the saturation flow rate is 1440 veh/h and the effective red time is 40 seconds, how much time will it take this queue to clear after the start of the effective green (assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals and D/D/1 queuing applies)?arrow_forwardTraffic demand shown in the figure below uniformly arrives at an intersection. Determine the optimal cycle length and split for the 2- phase signal control. The saturation flow rate of each approach is 2000 [veh/hr of effec-tive green] during the first 40 [sec] after the start of green, but it drops to 1900 [veh/hr of effective green] thereafter.

Yellow time is 4 seconds and all-red is 2 seconds (lost time is to be determined from standard assumptions).
