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.
Three-phase a pretimed signalized system for T- intersection, the total lost time per phase is 15 sec.
Given that PHF for intersection is 0.91. The table below shows information for all movements
included in each phase. (Assume the intersection is isolated, and the traffic flow accounts for the
peak 15-min period, and there is no initial queue at the start of the analysis period.)
