    1) Draw a time-flow diagram showing vehicles arriving at a steady rate and the fixed signal phases. 2) The queue will be unable to clear, causing vehicle delay, if the degree of saturation exceeds 1. The degree of saturation is the ratio of the arrival rate to the saturation flow. 3) If the queue can clear with some surplus green time, the surplus green time over the cycle time will indicate the proportion of surplus time, and the number of vehicles that can pass without delay can be approximated.

    Module 2 Problems

    Question 1
    On one approach of an intersection with xed time traf c signals, vehicles arrive at a steady rate of q. The cycle time is c (ignore lost time), and the phase green time is g. The
    saturation ow for this approach is s. Find out solutions for the following situations with the assistance of Time-Flow diagram.
    a) Draw an arrival and departure diagram to illustrate the situation
    b) Under what condition will the queue of vehicles on the approach be unable to clear (vehicles experience delay)? What is the status of the degree of saturation ow?
    c) Assuming a situation in which the queue can clear and have a small amount of surplus green time, what proportion of the time will be surplus (surplus green over cycle time) and
    approximate the number of vehicles on the approach will not experience any delay (i.e. can drive straight through during the green period)?
