Problem 1(12 points)
An isolated intersection has a pretimed four-phase signal with the movements
allowed in each phase and corresponding analysis and saturation flow rates shown in
the following table. (To simplify for calculation, the SB/NB maps the same values of
EB/NB).
Calculate the minimum cycle length and the effective green time for each phase.
Assume the lost time is 4 seconds per phase and a critical intersection v/c of 0.95 is
desired.
Calculate the average approach delay and level of service of eastbound,
westbound, and the whole intersection (Assume there is no initial queue).
Assume all the four approaches have the same width of 60ft,0% grade, the
speed of vehicles approaching the intersection is 40fts. Calculate the yellow time,
the all-red times for each phase. Assume the effective crosswalk width is 6ft, the
maximum number of crossing pedestrians in any phase is 20, and the pedestrian
walking speed is 4fts. Calculate the minimum pedestrian green time for each
approach. Pedestrians crossing the EB or WB approach are only permitted in Phase
4, while those crossing the SB or NB approach are only permitted in Phase 2. Then,
to accommodate the pedestrians, does the effective green time of Phase 24 need
extension?
