  12. Example Assume a two-lane one-way street links two intersections i and j, which is 800 feet apart. The one-way link flow is all through traffic and has a volume of 1000 vph. Saturation flow rate is all 1800 vphpl. Assume vehicle travel speed is 25 mph. The system cycle is 70 sec, and the effective arterial through greens for the upstream (i) and downstream (j) intersections are 35 sec and 30 sec, respectively. The offsets are 0 and 20 sec for the two intersections, referencing to the start of green of the arterial phases (i.e., arterial phase green at j starts 20 sec later after i). Calculate the uniform delay at intersection j considering (1) no platoon dispersion; (2) with platoon dispersion (α=0.35, β=0.80); (3) What if the offset is 40 sec?

  14. Offset - 20 Delay = 3.7 sec/veh

  15. Offset - 40 Delay = 13.6 sec/veh
