How should the traffic light be sequenced? Criterion for evaluating effectiveness: average delay time of cars. Resources required: 2 people for 8 days for data collection, 1 person for 3 days for data analysis, 1 person for 4 days for model building, 1 person for 2 days for running the model, 1 person for 3 days for implementation. How should the traffic light be sequenced? Should the road be widened to 4 lanes? Method of evaluating effectiveness: average delay time of all vehicles. Resources required: 2 people for 10 days for data collection, 1 person for 5 days for data analysis, 1 person for 5 days for model building, 1 person for 3 days for running the model, 1 person for 4 days for implementation. 2 Same as 1 above plus the following: Right on red is allowed after full stop provided no pedestrians are crossing and no vehicle is approaching the intersection. 3 Same as 2 above plus the following: Trucks arrive at the intersection. Vehicles break down in the intersection making one lane impassable. Accidents occur blocking traffic for varying amounts of time. CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO SIMULATION 4. Solution to Exercise 4: 3 Data Collection (step 4) - Storage of raw data in a file would allow rapid accessibility and a large memory at a very low cost. The data could be easily augmented as it is being collected.
