Problem 2: Probability Distributions Vehicles on a northbound intersection approach arrive at a rate of 500 vehicles per hour (see figure below). If the cycle length at the intersection is 100 seconds, what is the likelihood that more than 12 but less than 15 vehicles arrive to the intersection during a single cycle? 1. 2. The DOT is considering removing the signal at the intersection. If conflicting vehicles crossing this approach in the eastbound direction require 16 seconds to safely clear the intersection, how many vehicles per hour could expect to cross the intersection safely in the eastbound direction if the signal is removed? Assume that traffic at the intersection only travels in the northbound and eastbound directions 500 vph
