Question: Problem 2 [ 1 0 points ] A left turning movement has a maximum arrival rate of 4 0 0 vph . The saturation flow

Problem 2[10 points]
A left turning movement has a maximum arrival rate of 400 vph . The saturation flow of this movement is 1,400vph. For this approach, the yellow time is 4 seconds, all red time is 2 seconds, and total lost time is 3 seconds. The cycle time is 120 seconds. The turn bay that is provided for the left turning vehicles is 200 ft long.
a) What minimum displayed green time must be provided to ensure that the queue does not exceed the turn bay length? Assume a vehicle length of 20 ft .(Hint: Use a queuing diagram for traffic approaching and passing the signal from the left turn bay).
b) What is the average delay of left turning vehicles (i.e., all left turning vehicles, not only the delayed ones)?
c) What is the longest delay any of the left turning vehicles will experience? Show all work
