Question

The sixth vehicle in a stationary platoon of vehicles held on red by a traffic signal at a signalized intersection got the opportunity to move 10s after the signal had turned green and reached the intersection stop line exactly 15s into cycle. The average spacing between vehicles held on red by the signal was 7m. Based on the information given, determine the following:
i. The distance of the sixth vehicle from the intersection stop line

ii.The speed with which vehicles were crossing the intersection during the green interval.  

iii. The density of the stationary platoon of vehicles held on red by the signal.

iv. The speed of the release shock wave developed when the signal turned green.  

v.The density of the stream in the release condition.

Answer 1

Traffic analysis for a signlized system of crossing is given and green time and red time is provided . See solution. Hope it will help you.
