Tutorial 1

The document outlines a tutorial with various traffic engineering problems, including calculations for traffic volume, collision analysis, signal timing, and road capacity. It specifies submission deadlines and emphasizes that late submissions will not be accepted. Several detailed scenarios require the application of physics and traffic flow principles to solve for speeds, signal timings, and road capacities.

Tutorial 1

Last Date of Submission: 25th of Asar


Late submission will not be entertained
1. At a right-angled intersection of two roads, Road 1 has four lanes with a total width of 14m
and Road 2 has two lanes with a total width of 7m. The volume of traffic approaching the
intersection during the design hour are 800+Roll no and 700+roll no PCU/hr on the two
approaches of Road 1 and 200 and 250 PCU/hr on the two approaches of Road 2. Take
saturation flow of each direction of road 1 and 2 as 3675PCU/hr and 1890 PCU/hr
respectively and amber time 3 sec, lost time 2 sec per phase for both the roads.
2. A passenger car of mass 430 kg moving east collides with a truck of mass 1299 kg that is
moving south. Initial skid distances of the car and the truck are 15m and 10 m respectively.
After collision they lock together and skid through a distance equal to 8 m in direction 65
degrees south of east before stopping. Compute the initial speed of the car and the truck.
Assume average coefficient of friction as 0.5.
3. An isolated signal with pedestrian indication is to be installed on a right-angled intersection
with road A, 18m and road B 12m wide. The heaviest volume per hour for each lane of
road A and B are 300+ Roll No. and 200+ Roll No. respectively. The approach speeds are
55 and 40 kmph for road A and B resp. Design the timing of traffic signal and pedestrian
signals.
4. Define the capacity of a road and list out its type. Two Veh. A and b approaching at rt,
angle, A from west and B from south collide with each other. After collision, Veh A skids
in a dirn of 40 deg North of west and veh B 50 deg east of north. The initial skid distance
of veh. A and B are 35 and 25 m resp. If the wt of Weh A and B are 3.5 and 6 tonnes resp.
Calculate the original speed of vehicles. The avg. skid resistance of the pavement is found
to be 0.55.
5. Using the data in the table below, come up with cycle length and actual green for all 2-
phase signal. Assume lost time per phase = 3 seconds, yellow time of 3 seconds and all red
time of 4 sec.
