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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The saturation flow for an intersection approach is 3600 veh/h. At the beginning of cycle no vehicles are queued. The signal is timed so that what the queue is 13 vehicles the effective green begins. If the queue dissipates 8 seconds before the end of the cycle and the cycle length is 60 seconds. What is the arrival rate assuming D/D/1 queuing?
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
An approach to a pre-timed signal has 40 sec of effective green in a 75-second cycle.The approach volume is 700 veh/h and the saturation flow rate is 1600 veh/h.Calculate the time to queue clearance after the start of the effective green, themaximum number of vehicles in the queue, the total vehicle delay per cycle andthe average delay per vehicle assuming D/D/1 queuing.
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?
Supposed vehicles arve at a signalized road intersection at an average rate of 360 vehhr and the cycle of the trac light is set at 40 seconds. In what percentage of cycles wil the number of venices be amring: 2.1. Exacty 5 2.2. Less than 5 If, after the lights change to green, there is time to clear only 5 venices before the signal changes to red again, what is the probabilty that waiting vehicles are not cleared in one cycle?
Cars have a long queue at a stop sign. If the total time delay queueing is one min., compute the traffic intensity if the service rate of the road is only 360 veh/ hr. Assume both arrival and departure rates are exponentially distributed.
For a given one-lane approach of a signalized intersection, the base free flow speed is 40 mph, flow rate is 450 vphpl, saturation flow rate is 1,800 vphgpl, cycle length and red interval are 90 seconds and 30 seconds. Compute the following: The total time duration from the first vehicle in queue to the last queued vehicle being discharged per cycle The longest queue length and total number of vehicles in queue per cycle; Total vehicle-hours of delay and average delay per vehicle per cycle.
Observation post reveals that 8 vehicles passed through at intervals of 4.6 s, 6.23 s, 5.9 s, 7.1 s, 4.9 s, 3.8 s, 12.6 s, and 13.0 s, respectively. If the total distance travelled by the vehicles is 200 meters, i. If the density of traffic is 20 vpk, compute the rate of flow of traffic in vph. ii.
