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 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?
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.

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.

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.
