(5 pts) For the intersection from Assignment #3 Q3(ignoring pedestrian movements), assume a baseline condition where theres a 90 s cycle with phase timings of 18/2/1(G/y/ar) for the EB/WB-L,30/3/2 for EB/WB-TR, and 29/3/2 for NB/SB-LTR. Assume arrival type 3 on all approaches, 12-ft wide lanes, 10% trucks in NB/SB and 5% trucks on EB/WB,0% grade for all, 20 parking maneuvers/hr along EB/WB, and 15 bus stops per hour along NB/SB. Flows are evenly distributed across lanes. Located in CBD.
(a) Determine the effective greens for each phase.
(b) Determine the control delays (d1, d2) and LOS for each lane group, approach, and overall intersection.
(c) Now consider a 120 s cycle instead (keep y/ar times the same and proportionately increase all the G times). Compare the LOS and delay.
(d) For the base condition, what one change would you recommend that would most improve the intersection performance (no changes to arrival type).
