Vehicles arrive in a single approach for two consecutive cycles at a signalized intersection. The signal has a 60 second cycle time which consists of a 30 second green interval and a 30 second red interval (ignore yellow interval). The arrival rates are assumed to be constant in both cycles. The arrival rate was 1,080 vehicles/hour in the first cycle and it decreased to 720 vehicles/hour in the second cycle. Assume that all vehicles in the queue formed on red...

A vehicular stream at q 1000 veh/hour and u40 miles/hour is travelling on a two-lane highway (one-lane in each direction), and due to oncoming traffic, passing is not possible. Now, a truck puls into the lane travelling at 10 miles/hour. As the appchng vehicles join the slow- moving platoon behind the truck, the concentration rises to 120 veh/mile within the platoon. After 15 minutes, the truck turns off the highway. The vehicles in the platoon behind the truclk can then...
