Select the true items related to traffic signal design. Select only the four correct answers. For the dissipation of queue, the average saturation flow should be smaller than arrival flow. Intergreen is the time duration from the end of green time of a particular phase to the beginning of green time for the other phase. Average saturation flow is smaller than saturation flow. Key tasks of traffic signal design involve phasing, red time allocating and green time allocating. Intergreen is the time duration from the end of green time of a particular phase to the beginning of green time for the same phase. For the dissipation of queue, the average saturation flow should be greater than arrival flow. Average saturation flow is greater than saturation flow. Key tasks of traffic signal design involve phasing, cycling and green time allocating.

The uniform arrival and uniform service rates observed on an approach road to a signalized intersection are 20 and 50 vehicles/minute, respectively. For this signal, the red time is 30 s, the effective green time is 30 s, and the cycle length is 60 s. Assuming that initially there are no vehicles in the queue, the average delay per vehicle using the approach road during a cycle length (in s, round off to 2 decimal places) is

Problems 1. Traffic volumes on a four-lane freeway (two lanes in each direction) were counted manually from an overhead location, resulting in the data shown here. The desire was to obtain continuous 15-minute counts for each lane of the freeway for a two-hour period surrounding the morning peak hour. 11On 400 linc W Data for Problem 1 Eastbound Westbound Time of Count (PM) Lane 1 Lane 2 Lane 1 Lane 2 4:00-4:12 4:15-4:27 4:30-4:42 4:45-4:57 5:00-5:12 360 310 350 285 380 330 370 300 370 340 5:15-5:27 5:30-5:42 5:45-5:57 345 280 340 260 310 320 From the data shown, determine the following: (a) Continuous 15-minute volumes for each period and each lane. (b) The peak hour, peak hour volume, and peak hour factor (PHF) for each direction of flow and for the freeway as a whole. (c) Directional flow rates during each 15-minute count period.
delay? 4. The gate entrance to a park opens at 9:00 A.M. At 9:00 A.M. there are 32 vehicles in the queue waiting to enter. Vehicles continue to arrive (from 9:00 A.M. onward) at a rate of X(t) = 4.2-0.05t (with X(t) in veh/min and t in minutes after 9:00 A.M.). The gate attendant processes vehicles at a rate of u(t) = 3 + 0.3t [with u(t) in veh/min and t in minutes after 9:00 A.M.]. Assuming D/D/1 queuing, what is the maximum queue length and total vehicle delay from 9:00 A.M. onward? A.20 mph nohor
Question 4 Vehicles begin to arrive at a border gate at 06h50 with a deterministic arrival rate of λ (t) = 5.2 - 0.01t (λ is in vehicles per minute and t in minutes after 06h50). However, the gate opens at 07h00 and serves vehicles at a rate of μµ(t) =3.3 + 2.4t (with t in minutes after 07h00 and u in vehicles per minute). Once the service rate reaches 10 vehicles per minute, it stays at that level for the rest of the day. ● ● Illustrate the operational characteristics of the vehicle queue-delay on a (cumulative) vehicle-Time graph. When will the queue that forms be dissipated? What will be the maximum queue length? Determine the total delay.
