An approach at a pretimed signalized intersection has a constant saturation flow rate of 2400 veh/h and is allocated 24 seconds of effective green time in an 80-second signal cycle. If the total approach flow rate is 500 veh/h and 60% of the traffic arrives in the first 24-seconds of red due to a miscalculated offset, calculate the total delay assuming D/D/1 queuing and average delay.

An approach at a pretimed signalized intersection has a constant saturation flow rate of 2400
veh/h and is allocated 24 seconds of effective green time in an 80-second signal cycle. If the total
approach flow rate is 500 veh/h and 60% of the traffic arrives in the first 24-seconds of red due
to a miscalculated offset, calculate the total delay assuming D/D/1 queuing and average delay.
