T T T T X : National Institute of Technology Rourkela Mid - Semester Examination, 2018

1) The passage describes a mid-semester exam for a traffic engineering course. It includes 3 questions asking students to: 2) Calculate the peak hour factor for flow rate data and determine the parameters of Greenshields' linear traffic flow model based on speed and density data. 3) Solve equations related to vehicle position and speed over time, Greenberg's macroscopic traffic flow model, and determine optimal signal timing for an intersection based on provided volume, lane configuration, and timing parameter information.

2.a Temporal position of a vehicle is given by the following equation: 5


x(t)  7.t5 9.t 4 13.t 2 5. Calculate the distance moved by the vehicle from its
initial position at the time when it moves at the highest speed.

implies Greenberg’s Macroscopic u-k relation.

3 Two roads AB and CD intersect at O. The width of each approach lane is given as 3 10
m. The volume on each of the legs is as follows: right-turn volume on the leg AO is
450 pcu/hr, through and left-turn volume on the leg AO is 950 pcu/hr; right-turn
volume on the leg BO is 475 pcu/hr, through and left-turn volume on the leg BO is
900 pcu/hr; total volume on the leg CO is 640 pcu/hr; total volume on the leg DO is
500 pcu/hr; volumes of right-turning vehicles on legs CO and DO are 35% of the total
volumes of the respective lanes. Both the roads are 17 m wide. Assume, design
vehicle length = 5 m, design speed = 55 kmph, perception-reaction time for
responding to green to amber change in signal indication = 1 s, comfortable
deceleration = 4 m/s2, start-up lost time = 2 s, movement lost time = half of amber
time, all-red time = half of amber time. Also, assume, saturation flow for right turn
approach = 1850 pcu/hr and specific saturation flow for left turn and through approach
= 525 pcu/hr/m. For the above intersection, determine all aspects of signal timing.
