A four-phase traffic signal is to be designed for a major intersection
A four-phase traffic signal is to be designed for a major intersection. The critical volume to saturation flow rates (v/s for each phase are given below
a) If lost time per phase is 2 seconds, determine the cycle length such that the critical v/c ratio for the intersection is 0.92. The cycle length needs to be rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5
b) For this cycle length, find the effective green times for each phase (Use the HCM method described in class to distribute the green time). Green times should be rounded to an integer
c) For NB left turns (phase A), determine the capacity and the v/c ratio if the volume for NB LT is 400 vph.

A pretimed signal controls a four-way intersection with no turning permitted and zero lost time.
A pretimed signal controls a four-way intersection with no turning permitted and zero lost time. The eastbound and westbound traffic volumes are 500 and 600 veh/h. respectively, and the two movements share the same effective green and effective red portions of the cycle. The northbound and southbound directions also share cycle times, with volumes of 650 and 300 veh/h. If the saturation flow of castbound and westbound approaches is 2100 veh/h, and the saturation flow of northbound and southbound approaches...
