Concept explainers

Capacity and Level of Service at Intersections

The term capacity is associated with transportation engineering. Capacity helps to understand how many pedestrians or vehicles can be handled by a transport facility. Level of service is also a term associated with transportation engineering. The level of service indicates the performance of the transport facility.

A rural highway has one lane in each direction. In one direction V = 300 veh/hr/ln at a railroad crossing. The barriers at this crossing are lowered to block vehicles for four minutes and 30 seconds for a train to pass. What is the probability that when the barrier is lifted, the queue has exactly nine vehicles? Assume no initial queue.
Assume that the speed-density function of a section of highway follows Greenshield's Model. The free-flow speed is 75 mph and the jam density is 176 veh mi lane a. Derive V as a function of S. b. In 15 minutes, you have counted that V=150 veh 15 minute lane Estimate the two possible speeds S (in mph) during this 15 minute period.
Vehicles arrive to the park entrance at a constant rate of 900 veh/hour from 7:30 AM to 8:10 AM and then at a constant rate of 600 veh/hour from 8:10 A.M. The park opens at 8:10 A.M. and the manager wants to set the departure rate so that the average delay per vehicle (i.e.: Total delay/total number of arrival) is no greater than 24 minutes (measured from the time of the first arrival until the total queue clears). Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the minimum departure rate (?) needed to achieve this? What is the total delay at this rate? What is the longest Queue?

A signalized intersection has a cycle length of 70 seconds. For one traffic movement, the displayed all-red time is set to two seconds while the displayed yellow time is five seconds. The effective red time is 37 seconds and the total lost time per cycle for the movement is four seconds. What is the displayed green time for the traffic movement in seconds (whole number).
The following data was collected during a study of two arterial lanes. Estimate the continuous 15-minute counts for the two-lane roadway as a whole. Find the peak hour, and compute the PHF.

The total cycle time of an intersection is 60 seconds, the green time for the phase is 27 seconds and the corresponding yellow time is 4 seconds. If the saturation headway is 2.4 seconds/ vehicle, the startup lost time is 2 seconds/phase and the clearance lost time is 1 second/phase then the capacity of the movement is (a) 1500 veh/hr/lane (c) 500 veh/hr/lane (b) 700 veh/hr/lane (d) 300 veh/hr/lane
5. A traffic accident occurred along the North Diversion road at 6:00 AM. The flow rate on the expressway at this time of day was 53 vehicles per min. The normal freeway capacity is 75 vehicles per minute but it was reduced to 21 vehicles per minute due to the traffic accident. The traffic was cleared by the MMDA after an hour minutes. A) Determine the max. length of the queue before the blockage was removed B) Determine the time that the vehicles waited for the long queue before the blockage was cleared C) What time was the queue cleared?
