Document Summary

Calculate timing plan: flow ratios, critical flow, intersection flow ratio, total green time, green time per cycle. Los v/c: calc eff green time, capcity, degree of saturation, use chart for los. Add scramble phase: subtract the scramble phase length from cycle length, calculate timing plan as per usual, adding in scramble. Loop detector time saved: allocate time to appropriate phase, use los delay eqn to determine amount of time saved. Midblock detector: calculate effective green time, calculate qreach for each lane, multiply my length of car for distance. Location of loop detectors: calc qreach using, multiply by length of car for distance. Storage lane length: calculate qreach, use qreach (pvs qreach) curve to find needed qreach. Trip gen: use provided equation to find total trips, multiply by %ent/%exit. Los delay: calculate kf,d2,d1 d0, use chart to determine los. Trip generation fitted curve: average rate = rate x units x % ent, use curve equation, multiplied by % ent.
