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.

2.b Show that with m = 0 and l = 1 the GM model of car-following in the steady state 5
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.
