1. An equation has been calibrated for the amount of time (in seconds) required to clear N vehicles through a given signal phase (N>5): T= 2.04 +2.35N a. What start-up lost time does this equation suggest? b. What saturation headway and saturation flow rate are implied by the equation? 2 The saturation flow rate for an intersection approach is 3600 veh/h. At the beginning of a cycle (effective red) no vehicles are queued. The signal is timed so that when the queue (from the continuously arriving vehicles) is 13 vehicles long, the effective green begins. If the queue dissipates 8 seconds before the end of the cycle and the cycle length is 60 seconds, what is the arrival rate, assuming D/D/1 queuing? 3 An intersection has a four-phase signal with the movements allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in The table below Calculate the sum of the flow ratios for the critical lane groups.
