For the same intersection in Problem 2, left-turning vehicles in the north-bound approach must seek appropriate gaps to cross the through movement. They need 5.5 seconds to cross one through lane, plus 0.5 second for every additional lane, to cross the opposite traffic. As you recall from the class, the intersection sight distance (ISD) is calculated by: ISD = 1.47 x S85 × tgap Do left-turning vehicles have sufficient sight distance to safely cross? You may use the design speed (45 mph) as a proxy for S85. To calculate tgap, there are a total of two lanes in the opposite as shown traffic, in the picture in Problem 2. Safely cross = drivers see at least ISD ahead.

For the Greenshields model, the mean free flow speed on a highway facility lane equals 75 mph near zero density, and the jam density is observed to be about 160 veh/mi. Plot the q-k-u curves in proper order. Write down the speed-density, flow-speed, and flow-density equations. Find out the maximum flow, and also mark it on your diagrams. Compute speeds and densities corresponding to a flow of 2,880 veh/h, describing traffic conditions from a driver’s point of view. Calculate average headways, gaps, clearance, and spacing at CASE 1: maximum flow and at CASE 2: jam density. (Suppose the average vehicle length is 17ft)
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?
A traffic stream is moving at a steady state when entering a mountain grade. Upon entering the grade, the speed, density and flow are 72 km/h, 25 veh/km and 1800 veh/hr respectively. On the grade, a truck drops to a speed of 15 km/h causing traffic to bunch up to a density of 85 veh/km. When the truck pulls over, traffic accelerates to the maximum flow until steady state flow conditions resume. Calculate (a) the flow of traffic behind the truck on the mountain grade (b) the jam density and free flow speed for this road (c) the density and speed when traffic resumes a steady state flow (d) the maximum flow
