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.
