A lane group at a pre-timed isolated signalized intersection approach has C=90 sec, g-25 sec, Vai-690 pc/h for the 15-minute peak period, and sai-3400 pc/h. Calculate d,a, the average delay of lane group due to uniform arrivals. If K-0.5, I=1.0, T=0.25 hour, calculate d2a, the average delay due to random arrivals.

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.
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.
Vehicles 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. (Assume D/D/1 queuing).
A signalized intersection approach has two lanes with no exclusive left- or right-turning lanes. The approach has a 50-second green out of a 90-second cycle. The yellow plus all-red intervals for the phase total 4.0 s. If the start-up lost time is 2.0 s/phase, the clearance lost time is 1.5 s/phase, and the saturation headway is 2.25 s/veh under prevailing conditions, what is thecapacity of the intersection approach.
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.
An approach to a pretimed signal has 25 seconds of effective green. The approach volume is 500 veh/h and the saturation flow rate is 1400 veh/h. If the average vehicle delay is 20 seconds assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the cycle length (in seconds)_____.
An approach to a pretimed signal has 32 seconds of effective green, a saturation flow rate of 1800 veh/h, and a volume-to-capacity ratio less than 1. If the cycle length is 115 seconds and the overall delay formula (Eq. 7.27) estimates an average delay that is 38 seconds greater than that estimated by using just the uniform delay formula, determine the vehicle arrival rate in veh/h. (Assume the signal is isolated and d_3 = 0.
Traffic arrives at an approach of a signalized intersection at a flow rate of 360 veh/h. The approach receives 30 seconds effective green time in a 60 second cycle. The departure rate during effective green is 900 veh/h. Assume D/D/1 queuing at this approach, analyze traffic operation at this approach and provide statistics to quantify traffic operation
The equivalent hourly flow rate for an approach with 125 vehicles in the peak 15 minutes and PHF = 0.92 would be:
An approach to a pretimed signal has 30 seconds of effective red, and D/D/1 queuing holds. The total delay at the approach is 83.33 veh-s/cycle and the saturation flow rate is 1000 veh/h. If the capacity of the approach equals the number of arrivals per cycle, determine the approach flow rate and cycle length.
