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.
A two-phase signalized intersection is designed with a cycle time of 100 s. The amber and red times for each phase are 4 s and 50 s, respectively. If the total lost time per phase due to start-up and clearance is 2 s, the effective green time of each phase is s. (in integer)
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?
An intersection has four symmetrical approaches. The width (curb-to-curb distance) of each approach is 57 ft. If the length of the design vehicle is 19.4 ft and the design speed is 35 mph, what should be the all-red time? Group of answer choices 1.25 sec 1.75 sec 1.50 sec 2.0 sec
Vehicles arrive at an intersection approach at 550 veh/h at the beginning of an effective red and 15 vehicles are left in the queue from the previous cycle (end of the effective green). Due to peak hour congestion, the arrival rate increases 50 veh/h/min. Therefore after 1 minute, the arrival rate will be 600 veh/h, after 2 minutes it is 650 veh/h. The saturation flow rate of the approach is 1800 veh/h, the cycle length is 65 seconds, and the effective green time is 30 seconds. Determine the total vehicle delay until complete queue clearance. (Assume D/D/1 queuing).
