2. (a) Arrival times of vehicles at sensors placed on the four approaches of an intersection are
given below. 2-phase (N-S and E-W) vehicle actuated signal controls the traffic. Draw timing
diagrams for the two phases. Assume that Green indication is given to N-S approaches at ‘0’
seconds. Provide a 3 second amber period (after green). Minimum and maximum Green
periods considered are 10. and 60. seconds. respectively. 3 seconds (green). extension period
may be used. The arrival timings of vehicles coming along the two approaches of a phase are
to be considered together. Also compute the average stopped delay incurred by the vehicles
coming along the Southern approach. 0)
