Tutorial 02

The document outlines a tutorial for CE3121 Transportation Engineering at the National University of Singapore, focusing on signalized intersection design. It includes review problems related to signal timing design, such as determining saturation flow, critical lane groups, cycle length, and pedestrian crossing time. A specific design problem is presented, requiring the development of a signal timing plan using Webster’s method based on given traffic and pedestrian data.

Question 1 (Design of signalized intersection)

The figure below shows peak-hour volumes for a major intersection. The width of each
crosswalk (or pedestrian crossing) is 2.75 m. The crosswalk lengths in both east-west and
north-south directions are 20.1 m. The speed limit on each approach is 50 km/h. A four-phase
operation is adopted for the intersection and is shown below. It is estimated that the maximum
numbers of pedestrian crossing the north, south, east and west approaches per cycle are 30, 30,
19 and 25 respectively. Develop a suitable vehicle and pedestrian signal timing plan for this
intersection using Webster’s method. Use a yellow interval of 3 sec, 1 sec all-red time, a lost
time of 3.5 sec per phase, a saturation flow of 1615 vphgpl for the right-turn lane, a combined
saturation flow of 3700 for the through and left-turn lane group, a PHF of 0.95, and a minimum
green of 10 sec.
