A signalized intersection has a sum of critical flow ratios of 0.72 and a total cycle lost time of 12 seconds. Assuming a critical intersection v/c ration of 0.9, calculate the minimum necessary cycle length.

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]T_o=82.1sec[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Lost Time [tex]t=12secs[/tex]

Sum of critical flow ratios [tex]X=0.72[/tex]

Generally the Webster Method's equation for Optimum cycle time is is mathematically given by

 [tex]T_o=\frac{1.5t+5}{1-x}[/tex]

 [tex]T_o=\frac{1.5*12+5}{1-0.72}[/tex]

 [tex]T_o=82.1sec[/tex]
