b) The following traffic counts summarised in Table 3 were made at an approach for a TWSC junction.
Table 3. Traffic counts during morning and evening periods
\table[[Movement,Traffic volume (veh/hr)],[Morning period,Evening period],[Left turn (LT),66,52],[Through movement (TH),44,122],[Right turn (RT),90,52]]
Determine the following:
(i) The potential capacity for each movement given the conflicting volumes, critical gap and follow-up times summarised in Table 4.(6 marks)
Table 4. Conflicting volumes, critical gap and follow-up times
\table[[Movement, Critical gap,
tcs(s),Follow-up time, tf(s),Conflicting volumes, vercl(veh/hr)],[Morning period,Evening period],[Left turn (LT),6.26,3.33,399,334],[Through movement (TH),6.56,4.03,2071,2298],[Right turn (RD),7.16,3.53,1576,1742]]
Page 2 of 3Given: Potential capacity, cpx=vcx[e-vcxtcx36001-e-vcxtfx3600]
(ii) The shared lane capacity for the approach during the different time periods. (3 marks) Given: Shared Lane capacity, cSH=y'?vy'y?(vy'cmy);
vy= flow rate for movement y sharing a lane with another minor street flow,
cmy= potential capacity for movement y sharing a lane with another minor street flow
(iii) The delay for the approach during the different time periods. (6 marks) Given:
delay, dx=5+3600cpx+900T[vxcpx-1+(vxcpx-1)2+(3600cpx)(vxcpx)450T2],
T=0.25,vx= demand flow rate for shared lane in veh/hr.
b ) The following traffic counts summarised in
