Example Phase

The document describes a three phase intersection with given traffic volumes and asks to design the signal timing. The summary is: 1) Traffic volumes and saturation flows were calculated for each phase. 2) The critical cycle length was determined to be 120 seconds. 3) The green times were allocated to each phase proportionally based on the saturation flow ratios to maximize the intersection capacity. 4) The results were a 31 second green, 3 second amber, and 86 second red for phase 1. Phase 2 was 31 green, 5 intergreen, and 81 red. Phase 3 was 44 green, 5 intergreen, and 68 red.
