Q4: a. At a certain at grade intersection, it's decided to use a 4 phases traffic signal for the four approaches shown below. Approach Width (m) Actual flow (DHIV) pc/hr Left turn vehicles of North South East West 10,5 8 12 331 427 1104 715 478 630 1953 1047 saturation flow Assuming the following for cach phase: Starting delay and falling discharge time = 3 sec, amber time - 5 sec, all red 1 sec, red/amber - 1 sec. Find the optimum cycle time and the controller green for each phase.
