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?
An observer notes that an approach to a pretimed signal has a maximum of eight vehicles in a queue in a given cycle. If the saturation flow rate is 1440 veh/h and the effective red time is 40 seconds, how much time will it take this queue to clear after the start of the effective green (assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals and D/D/1 queuing applies)?
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?

- An approach at a signalized intersection with a 60-second cycle gets 30 seconds of displayed green time. Yellow time is 4 seconds and all-red is 2 seconds (lost time is to be determined from standard assumptions). At the beginning of an effective red there are 4 vehicles in the queue and the saturation flow is 876 veh/h. The arrival rate is given by v(t) = 0.20 - 0.002t [with v(t) in veh/s and t in seconds after the beginning of the effective red]. What is the average vehicle delay for this approach in seconds at the end of the cycle (until the next effective red) that started with the 4 vehicles queued at the beginning of the effective red?
