Question: An intersection has a 3 - phase signal with the movements allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in the

An intersection has a 3-phase signal with the movements allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in the following table:
\table[[Phase,1,,2,,,],[\table[[Allowed],[Movements]],EB L,WB L,EBT/R,\table[[WB],[T/R]],SB L,SB T/R],[\table[[Analysis],[flow rate, v],[(veh/hr)]],245,230,975,1030,255,235],[\table[[Saturation],[flow rate,s],[(veh/hr)]],1750,1725,3350,3400,1725,1750],[(vs)i,,,,,,]]
a. Circle the critical lane groups based on the v/s ratios i.e., flow ratios for each phase
(10 points)
b. Calculate the sum of flow ratios for the critical lane groups (10 points)
i=1n(vs)ci=,.140+.303+.148=0.591
c. If the lost time per phase is 5 seconds and a critical intersection v/c of 0.85 is desired, calculate the minimum cycle length Cmin and the optimal cycle length Copt for the intersection.
