Vehicles arrive at an intersection approach at 550 veh/h at the beginning of an effective red and 15 vehicles are left in the queue from the previous cycle (end of the effective green). Due to peak hour congestion, the arrival rate increases 50 veh/h/min. Therefore after 1 minute, the arrival rate will be 600 veh/h, after 2 minutes it is 650 veh/h. The saturation flow rate of the approach is 1800 veh/h, the cycle length is 65 seconds, and the effective green time is 30 seconds. Determine the total vehicle delay until complete queue clearance. (Assume D/D/1 queuing).

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.
An approach to a pretimed signal has 25 seconds of effective green. The approach volume is 500 veh/h and the saturation flow rate is 1400 veh/h. If the average vehicle delay is 20 seconds assuming D/D/1 queuing, determine the cycle length (in seconds)_____.

- An intersection approach has a saturation flow rate of 1500 veh/h, and vehicles arrive at the approach at the rate of 800 veh/h. The approach is controlled by a pretimed signal with a cycle length of 60 seconds and D/D/1 queuing holds. Local standards dictate that signals should be set such that all approach queues dissipate 10 seconds before the end of the effective green portion of the cycle. Assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals, determine the maximum length of effective red that will satisfy the local standards.arrow_forwardCompute the average approach delay per cycle, given the saturation flow rate of 2400 veh/h and is allocated 24 seconds of effective green in an 80-second signal cycle.
