PROBLEM 1. Consider a signalized intersection approach in which the arrival rates are different during the effective green and red times during a given phase. During the effective green, there is only one lane group with an arrival rate of 2,400 vehicles per hour and 2700 vehicles per hour during the rest of the cycle (during the effective red). The cycle length is of 90 seconds, the effective green is 30 seconds and the saturation rate is 8,000 veh/h. Questions: a) Estimate the average uniform delay for this approach b) Consider that this approach has an upgrade of 4%. The total width of the cross street at this intersection is 60 feet. The average vehicle length of approaching traffic is 16 feet. The speed of approaching traffic is 40 mi/h. Determine the sum of the minimum necessary change and clearance intervals.
Data from a 6ft by 6ft inductive loop detector collected during a 60 second interval indicates that the mean speed of traffic is 50mph among the 32 vehicles counted. Assume an average vehicle length of 19ft. Calculate a. The density, b. The occupancy, and C. The flow rate during this interval.

A two-phase signalized intersection is designed with a cycle time of 100 s. The amber and red times for each phase are 4 s and 50 s, respectively. If the total lost time per phase due to start-up and clearance is 2 s, the effective green time of each phase is s. (in integer)
Compute 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.
