7.12 The saturation flow rate of an approach to a pretimed signal is 6000 veh/h. The signal
has a 60-second cycle with 20 seconds of effective red allocated to the approach.
At the beginning of an effective red (with no vehicles remaining in the queue from a
previous cycle), vehicles start arriving at a rate v(t) = 0.4 +0.01t + 0.00057+² (where
v(t)) is in vehicles per second and t is the number of seconds from the beginning of the
cycle).
30 seconds into the cycle the arrival rate remains constant at its 30-second level and stays at
that rate until the end of the cycle. What is the total vehicle delay over the cycle (in vehicle-
seconds), assuming D/D/1 queuing?
Traffic demand shown in the figure below uniformly arrives at an intersection. Determine the
optimal cycle length and split for the 2- phase signal control. The saturation flow rate of each
approach is 2000 [veh/hr of effec-tive green] during the first 40 [sec] after the start of green, but it
drops to 1900 [veh/hr of effective green] thereafter. Also, the lost time is assumed to be 5
[sec/phase].
1000[veh/h]
300[veh/h]
500[veh/h]
1300[veh/h]
(b) An approach to a pretimed signal has 25 seconds of effective green in a 60-second cycle.
The approach volume is 500 vph and the saturation flow rate is 1400 vph. Calculate the average
vehicle delay assuming D/D/1 queuing.

- PROBLEM 1. Consider a signalized intersection approach in which the arrival rates are different during the effective green and red times during a given phase. During the effective green, there is only one lane group with an arrival rate of 2,400 vehicles per hour and 2700 vehicles per hour during the rest of the cycle (during the effective red). The cycle length is of 90 seconds, the effective green is 30 seconds and the saturation rate is 8,000 veh/h. Questions: a) Estimate the average uniform delay for this approach b) Consider that this approach has an upgrade of 4%. The total width of the cross street at this intersection is 60 feet. The average vehicle length of approaching traffic is 16 feet. The speed of approaching traffic is 40 mi/h. Determine the sum of the minimum necessary change and clearance intervals.arrow_forward5. Green terminates at a signalized intersection with 6 vehicles queued for service. The arrival rate for the approach is 1 veh/sec. The departure rate is 2 veh/sec.

The arrival rate over the cycle is given by the function v(t) = 0.22 + 0.012t [v(t) is in veh/s and t is in seconds]. There are no vehicles in the queue when the cycle (effective red) begins. The cycle length is 60 seconds and the saturation flow rate is 3600 veh/h. Determine the effective green and red times that will allow the queue to clear exactly at the end of the cycle (the end of the effective green), and determine the total vehicle delay for this approach over the cycle (assuming D/D/1 queuing).arrow_forwardAn 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.
