Intersection Design

An intersection is a location where two or more roads or railways meet or join. The traffic movement is controlled at the intersection that depends on its design and type. It governs the operation, efficiency, speed, capacity, and safety of the highways, airways, and railways. The movement of the pedestrian causes hazards and delays at the intersection.

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.
Studies have shown that the traffic flow on a two-lane road adjacent to aschool can be described by the Greenshields model. A length of 0.5 miadjacent to a school is described as a school zone and operates for a periodof 30 min just before the start of school and just after the close of school.The posted speed limit for the school zone during its operation is 15 mi/h.Data collected at the site when the school zone is not in operation showthat the jam density and mean free speed for each lane are 125 veh/mi and57 mi/h. If the demand flow on the highway at the times of operation ofthe school zone is 90% of the capacity of the highway, determine: The speeds of the shock waves created by the operation of the schoolzone, and• The number of vehicles affected by the school zone in the upsream ofthe zone during this 30-minute operation.
