The traffic volume at the north-south approach of an arterial road intersection is 720 veh/h and 25% of the traffic take right turns. A right-turn-only lane at the signalised intersection of this approach can store a maximum of six vehicles. The cycle time of the traffic light is 90 seconds, the green time allocated for right turns can accommodate a maximum of six vehicles. Determine - the volume (veh/hr) of vehicles taking right turns - the average number of vehicles taking right turns in 90 seconds - the probability of no vehicles staying on the right-turn-only lane during an allocated green time - the probability that there will be a backup of vehicles waiting to turn right thus blocking the lane; and - show the situation of the north-south approach using an appropriate sketch
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.
