where
C = cycle time (sec)
= proportion of the cycle that is effectively green for the phase = g/C
qs = flow (pcu/sec)
x = degree of saturation = q/S
LEVEL OF SERVICE
- The level of service for signalised intersections are based on the delay, as given
in Table 1.6.
Example:
Using the results of the traffic signal timing design in the earlier example, determine
the following:
1
BFC 32302: TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND SAFETY
Solution:
(a) To calculate the delays and (b) determine the LOS, the designed Co = 60 sec
and designed green times are used.
