Please calculate the level of service and delay for the westbound left lane group, the westbound approach, and the whole intersection. I provided LOS chart for reference.
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 to a pre-timed signal has 40 sec of effective green in a 75-second cycle.The approach volume is 700 veh/h and the saturation flow rate is 1600 veh/h.Calculate the time to queue clearance after the start of the effective green, themaximum number of vehicles in the queue, the total vehicle delay per cycle andthe average delay per vehicle assuming D/D/1 queuing.
