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.

An expressway off-ramp consisting of a single lane leads directly to a tollbooth. The rate of arrival of vehicles at the expressway can be considered to be Poisson with a 6-24 www.Civil08.com - The Download Monster Chapter 6 Fundamental Principles of Traffic Flow 263 mean of 50 veh/h, and the rate of service to vehicles can be assumed to be exponen- tially distributed with a mean of 1 min. (a) What is the average number of vehicles waiting to be served at the booth (that is, the number of vehicles in queue, not including the vehicle being served)? (b) What is the length of the ramp required to provide storage for all exiting vehicles 85% of the time? Assume the average length of a vehicle is 20 ft and that there is an average space of 5 ft between consecutive vehicles waiting to be served. (c) What is the average waiting time a driver waits before being served at the toll- booth (that is, the average waiting time in the queue)?
