Q2: At grade intersection with width 15 m, controlled by 3 phases traffic
signals. A percentile speed of approach traffic is 18 m/ sec. if you know that,
lost time per phase = 4 sec, available phase efficiency =0.65, the percentage of
time at saturation level for each phase 33%, 37.5%, 29.5% respectively.
Determine:
a. the amber time for each phase.
b. the time that the vehicle spent in each approach.
Assume the length of standard vehicle = 6 m.
