Clearly circle the correct answer for True/False. No explanation/correction is needed. (18 pts, 2 pts each)
a.
The phase length is the sum of displayed green, yellow, and all red times for a movement or combination of movements that receive the right‐of‐way simultaneously during the cycle.
T F b.
Typical factors that influence Level of Service (LOS) include base conditions, roadway conditions, traffic conditions, safety conditions, and control conditions.
T F c.
In signal timing planning, the lane group with the highest ratio of vehicle arrival rate (i.e., analysis flow rate) to saturation flow rate (v/s) is determined as the critical lane group.
T F d.
The critical v/c ratio is commonly set to 1.0 to determine the cycle length, which essentially assumes the intersection operate at full capacity.
T F e.
There are typically 32 conflict points at a four-way intersection, which are 16 crossing points, 8 merging points, and 8 diverging points.
T F f.
A merging conflict point is generally considered more dangerous than a crossing/diverging point, because any potential crash due to merging likely occurs near the side of the vehicle that is closer (and consequently more fatal) to the driver and passengers.
T F g. Peak Hour Factor (PHF) ranges from 0.25 to 1.00. When the volume variability is minimum (uniform distribution) within the peak hour, PHF equals to 1.00. When the variability is maximum (i.e., all volumes are observed in one interval, and no volume for the other intervals), PHF equals to 0.25. T F h. Intersection Sight Distance (ISD) requires more complex decisions and a longer reaction time than Stopping Sight Distance (SSD). T F i. There are five types of violations of driver expectancy: 1) continuity, 2) uniformity, 3) event, 4) temporal and 5) weather. T F

Draw the phase diagram for the intersection shown and show the associated phase number in the phase diagram. The EB left turn is protected and the WB left turn is protected. Use a solid arrow for any protected movement, and a dashed arrow for any permitted movement. You need to draw the grids (one grid to include each phase) yourself and include the phase ID in each grid. Remember to show the barriers (with double-solid lines) and the rings. You need to show which phase(s) are omitted (if there is any). Hint: use a dual-ring signal control. (12 pts)

I have a wooden toy train that runs on wooden tracks. I would like to place two ESP-WROOM-32 Boards on top of the train. Broadcast communication (which involves radio frequency, not Wi-Fi) would help communicate about the train's lateness to five other wooden trains on the same track. Local communication would help communicate to the train station about the train's lateness. I would also need radio frequency Tx-Rx Modules for discharging and undergoing the signal, and repeaters just in case the signal loses power due to long-distance traveling. My wooden train should be automated. It should run at 4 inches per second, keep a minimum distance of 30 seconds away from the other wooden trains, and make a 17-second-long stop every 500 seconds.
