Supposed vehicles arrive at a signalized road intersection at an average rate of 360 veh/hr and the cycle of the traffic light is set at 40 seconds. In what percentage of cycles will the number of vehicles be arriving: a. Exactly 5 b. Less than 5 If, after the lights change to green, there is time to clear only 5 vehicles before the signal changes to red again, what is the probability that waiting vehicles are not cleared in one cycle?
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.
A volume of 320 veh/h. Assume that the vehicle arrivals are Poisson distributed. What is the probability that the headway between successive vehicles will be less than 10 seconds. choices: 62.70%, 58.90%, 56.30%, 60.00%
Vehicles arrive at an entrance to a recreational park. There is a single gate (at which all vehicles must stop), where a park attendant distributes free brochures. The park opens at 8:00 AM. At which vehicles begin to arrive at a rate of 480 veh/h. After 20 minutes, the arrival flow rate declines to 120 veh/h and corrtinues at that level for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute the brochure is 15 seconds, and assuming D/D/1 queuing (a) draw the queuing diagram (b) describe the operational characteristics of the queue (maximum queue length, maximum queuing time, average queuing time per vehicle etc.)
Subject: Transportation Engineering The traffic light just turns green at an intersection. The vehicles leaving the queue at u = 30mph, k = 60vpm and the vehicles from the upstream joining the queue at u = 60mph, k = 30vpm. The density in the queue is 130vpm and the queue length is 50ft. How long does it take for the queue to dissipate? Please help me urgent... Thank you
Data on a traffic accident record on a certain intersection for the past 4 years has an accident rate of 9200 per million entering vehicles (MEV). If the total accident is 802, find the average daily traffic a. 75 b. 60 c. 45 d. 95
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 traffic intensity of a certain freeway is 0.833. The arrival rate of vehicles at a certain intersection (stop sign) is 200 vehicles per hour. Compute the service rate in vehicles/hr. *
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.
PLEASE ANSWER ANY TWO A)A roadway with a capacity of 4000 vph has 15 minute arrivals of 1000, 500, 500, and 2000 during the peak hour. The queue at the end of the hour is most likely. B)A 3ft detector is used along a highway to help measure density. What is the density (in vpmpl) if the detector is occupied 50 percent of the time. Assume 28 ft veh length. C)If vehicles arrive at a rate of 360 vph, what is the probability of exactly 2 vehicles arriving in 20 seconds? (2 to decimals) D)How many vehicles have "arrived" if for 3 straight 15 minute periods the arrival rates are 240 vph, 400 vph, 600 vph?
The rate of arrival of vehicles at the expressway can be considered to be Poisson with a mean of 45 veh/hr, and the rate of service to vehicles can be assumed to be exponentially distributed with a mean of 1 min. (a) What is the average number of vehicles waiting to be served at the booth (that is, the number of vehicles in queue, not including the vehicle being served)? (b) What is the length of the ramp required to provide storage for all exiting vehicles 90% of the time? Assume the average length of a vehicle is 18 ft and that there is an average space of 10 ft between consecutive vehicles waiting to be served. (c) What is the average waiting time a driver waits before being served at the tollbooth (that is, the average waiting time in the queue)?
The minimum cycle length for an intersection is determined to be 95 seconds. The critical 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?
