Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

Quest... In a three-phase signal system design for a four- leg intersection, the critical flow ratios for each phase are 0.18, 0.32, and 0.22. The total loss time in each of the phases is 2 s. As per Webster's formula, find the optimal cycle length.
TRANSPORTATION ENGINNERING-TRAFFIC SIGNALS An approach to a predetermined signal has 25 seconds of effective green for a 60 second cycle. The approach volume is 500 vehicles/hour and the saturation flow rate is 1400 vehicles/hour. Calculate the average vehicle delay using D/D/1 queing.
plz, solve this problem, it is not graded question. Transportation Engineering-1 During a 70 sec period, a detector is occupied by vehicles for the following times: 0.31, 0.39, 0.41, 0.35, and 0.53 sec. Estimate the values of flow (q), density (k) and speed (v). Assume that the loop detector is 10 ft and that that the average length of the vehicle is 20 ft.
A simple four-legged intersection needs a fixed-time signal. The critical lane flows in the N-S and E-W directions are 950 and 600 veh/hr/ln, respectively. Saturation flow is 1,950 veh/hr/ln and the lost time per phase is 6 seconds. Assume yellow interval is 3 seconds and all red interval is 2 seconds. Determine the cycle length and the distribution of green using Webster’s method.
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.
A signalized intersection operates in two phases. The Lost time is 3 seconds per phase. The maximum ratios of approach flow to saturation flow for the two phases are 0.37 and 0.40. The optimum cycle length using Webster's method (in seconds, round off to one decimal place) is
Subject: transportation engineering Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question. A signal has four phases, where the critical lane group flow ratios are 0.115, 0.204, 0.099, and 0.248. If the lost time per phase is 6 seconds and the critical intersection v/c ratio is 0.88, calculate the minimum cycle length and the phase effective green times such that the lane group v/c ratios are equal.
The minimum cycle length for an intersection is determined to be 95 seconds. The cirtical lane group flow ratios were calculated as 0.235, 0.250, 0.170 and 0.125 for phases 1- 4 respectively. What Xc was used in the determination of this cycle length, assuming a lost time of 5 seconds per phase?
Vehicles are approaching east of a stop signal traveling at 56 km/h, with a density of 46 vehicles/km/lane. The duration of the red signal indication for this approach is 30 seconds. If the saturation flow is 1900 vehicles/hr/lane with a density of 52 vehicles/km/lane and the congestion density is 125 vehicles/km/lane, determine the length of the queue at the end of the red phase. Assume the ShockWave model for the respective analysis.
A pretimed four-phase signal has critical lane group flow rates for the first three phases of 200, 187, and 210 veh/h (saturation flow rates are 1800 veh/h/ln for all phases). The lost time is known to be 4 seconds for each phase. Assuming Xi = 0.9. If the cycle length is 60 seconds, what is the estimated effective green time of the fourth phase?
An intersection has a three-phase signal with the movements allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in the table below. (1) Calculate the sum of the flow ratios for the critical lane groups. (2) calculate the minimum cycle length and the effective green time for each phase (balancing v/c for the critical lane groups). Assume the lost time is 4 seconds per phase and a critical intersection v/c of 0.90 is desired.
How long should the “yellow” signal be for vehicles approaching a traffic signal on a 2% descent at 35 miles per hour? Use a standard reaction time of 1.0 second and standard AASHTO deceleration rate.
