7.24 Vehicles arrive at an approach to a pretimed signalized intersection. 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).

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]
Problem 3. D/D/1 queuing. Suppose only through traffic is allowed on an intersection approach, and traffic arrive at a constant rate of 400 veh/h. Their Effective green time is set to 15 seconds. Cycle length is 60 seconds. Estimate the average delay for that approach. Use a saturation flow rate of 1750 veh/h.
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?

Question 21 A signalized intersection operates in two phases. The lost time is 3 seconds per phase. The maximum ratios of approach flow to saturation flow for the two phases are 0.37 and 0.40. The optimum cycle length using the Webster's method (in seconds, round off to one decimal place) IS
For a given one-lane approach of a signalized intersection, the base free flow speed is 40 mph, flow rate is 450 vphpl, saturation flow rate is 1,800 vphgpl, cycle length and red interval are 90 seconds and 30 seconds. Compute the following: The total time duration from the first vehicle in queue to the last queued vehicle being discharged per cycle The longest queue length and total number of vehicles in queue per cycle; Total vehicle-hours of delay and average delay per vehicle per cycle.
An observer notes that an approach to a pretimed signal, the time it will take the queue to clear after the start of the effective green (assuming that approach capacity exceeds arrivals and D/D/1 queuing applies) is 60 s. If the saturation flow rate is 1440 veh/h and the effective red time is 40 seconds, what is the maximum number of vehicles in a queue in a given cycle?
Please estimate the minimum cycle length and the green intervals for the following signalized intersection (Figure 7). Please note that the minimum cycle length will be influenced by the design of the phasing diagram. The arrival flow, in pcu/h, for each direction, is illustrated in Figure 7. Please assume any missing values. Lost time following each phase = 2 sec, Amber = 3 sec, Red all = 1 sec, saturation flow 1400 pcu/h. 196, 367, 170 JIL! 400, 140, 215 716 120, 417, 232 400, 433, 184 Figure 7.

Traffic Volume and Capacity If saturation headway of given traffic is 2.5 sec and the cycle time on a particular intersection is 65 sec. With green time as 25 sec and corresponding yellow time as 3.5 sec. If the start-up loss-time is 2 sec and clearance time is 1 sec, then the actual capacity of the vehicle per lane in veh/hour is
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). Round off the final answer to whole number (no units).
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)?
