Recent computations at an approach to a pretimed-signalized intersection indicate that the volume-to-capacity ratio is 0.8, the saturation flow rate is 1600 veh/h, and the effective groen time is 50 seconds. If the uniform delay is 11.25 seconds per vehicle, determine the anival flow rate (in vehvh) and the cycle length.

4) Traffic on the eastbound approach of a signalized intersection is traveling at 35 mi/hr, with a density of 46 veh/mi/In. The duration of the red signal indication for this approach is 30 sec. If the saturation flow is 1900 veh/h/In with a density of 52 veh/mi/In, and the jam density is 125 veh/mi/In, determine the following: (i) The length of the queue at the end of the red phase (ii) The maximum queue length (iii) The time it takes for the queue to dissipate after the end of the red indication.
An approach at a signalized intersection with a 60-second cycle gets 30 seconds of displayed green time. Yellow time is 4 seconds and all-red is 2 seconds (lost time is to be determined from standard assumptions). At the beginning of an effective red there are 4 vehicles in the queue and the saturation flow is 876 veh/h. The arrival rate is given by v(t) = 0.20 - 0.002t [with v(t) in veh/s and t in seconds after the beginning of the effective red]. What is the average vehicle delay for this approach in seconds at the end of the cycle (until the next effective red) that started with the 4 vehicles queued at the beginning of the effective red? (Assume D/D/1 queueing. Please provide you answer in decimal form without units)
Please estimate the minimum cycle length and the green intervals for the following signalized intersection (Figure 7). Please note that the minimum cycle length will be influenced by the design of the phasing diagram. The arrival flow, in pcu/h, for each direction, is illustrated in Figure 7. Please assume any missing values. Lost time following each phase = 2 sec, Amber = 3 sec, Red all = 1 sec, saturation flow 1400 pcu/h. 196, 367, 170 JIL! 400, 140, 215 716 120, 417, 232 400, 433, 184 Figure 7.

Recent computations at an approach to a pretimed-signalized intersection indicate that the volume-to-capacity ratio is 0.8, the saturation flow rate is 1600 veh/h, and the effective green time is 50 seconds. If the uniform delay is 11.25 seconds per vehicle, determine the arrival flow rate (in veh/h) and the cycle length.
(b) An approach to a pretimed signal has 25 seconds of effective green in a 60-second cycle. The approach volume is 500 vph and the saturation flow rate is 1400 vph. Calculate the average vehicle delay assuming D/D/1 queuing.
