The total lost time of a signal is 13 seconds. If the sum of the critical flow ratios, Yc, is 0.834, what is the optimal cycle time (rounded to the nearest second)? Group of answer choices 128 sec 108 sec 148 sec 147 sec
An approach at a signalized intersection with a 60-second cycle gets 30 seconds of displayed green time. Yellow time is 4 seconds and all-red is 2 seconds (lost time is to be determined from standard assumptions). At the beginning of an effective red there are 4 vehicles in the queue and the saturation flow is 876 veh/h. The arrival rate is given by v(t) = 0.20 - 0.002t [with v(t) in veh/s and t in seconds after the beginning of the effective red]. What is the average vehicle delay for this approach in seconds at the end of the cycle (until the next effective red) that started with the 4 vehicles queued at the beginning of the effective red? (Assume D/D/1 queueing. Please provide you answer in decimal form without units)
Solve it accurate.

On a six-lane EDSA, an observer is stationed at a certain spot. All of the cars in lane 1 are moving at a speed of 80 kph, 75 kph in lane 2, and 90 kph in lane 3,66 kph in lane 4,70 in lane 5, 65 in lane 6 and 85 for the bus lane respectively. In addition, cars are kept at a constant 65-meter distance between. What will be the time-mean speed and space-mean speed for such a traffic stream based on the acquired spot speed data for all cars as they cross the observation site for 60 minutes?
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.
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. Flow at the approach is 500 veh/h. Assume the traffic flow accounts for the peak 15-min period and that there is no initial queue at the start of the analysis period.
7.12 The saturation flow rate of an approach to a pretimed signal is 6000 veh/h. The signal has a 60-second cycle with 20 seconds of effective red allocated to the approach. At the beginning of an effective red (with no vehicles remaining in the queue from a previous cycle), vehicles start arriving at a rate v(t) = 0.4 +0.01t + 0.00057+² (where v(t)) is in vehicles per second and t is the number of seconds from the beginning of the cycle). 30 seconds into the cycle the arrival rate remains constant at its 30-second level and stays at that rate until the end of the cycle. What is the total vehicle delay over the cycle (in vehicle- seconds), assuming D/D/1 queuing?

Vehicle Section XX Section YY A T0 T0 + 14.33 sec B T0 + 3.76 sec T0 + 18.14 sec C T0 + 7.94 sec T0 + 22.06 sec D T0 + 12.13 sec T0 + 27.87 sec If the total time of observation at XX was 20 sec, determine (a) the time mean speed, (b) the space mean speed, (c) the flow at section XX, and (d) the density on the highway
A turning movement count and a saturation flow study were conducted at a major intersection on an expressway with configuration as presented in Fig.1. The peak-hour volumes and saturation flows obtained from the studies for each movement are presented in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. i) provide a diagrammatic representation of the signal sequence at the intersection. Assume a yellow interval of 3s, all-red interval of 2s and a peak hour factor of 0.95 for all the approaches. Note: No two movements should conflict during the determination of the phasing plan.
