have insufficient time to build back to the lengths required to give excessively
ong delays. Furthermore, drivers, on seeing the end of the queue a long distance
away from the intersection, may well turn off and find some alternative route
under these conditions and this has, in fact, been observed at a particular
junction in central London which was running to capacity for a large proportion
of the day.“ The average delay at this junction was several minutes.
‘The average value of the delay is usually the one which is quoted and used in
calculations, but it is often useful to know the variability of delays. Fluctuations
in delay are primarily due to random fluctuations in the numbers of vehicles
arriving at an intersection. Results obtained from observations of delays at
several sites in London have shown the standard deviation to be about three-
‘quarters of the mean delay; computations carried out using simulation methods
with random traffic gave a standard deviation greater than this.
Delay with vehicle-actuated signals
When the green periods are running to maximum because of heavy traffic
demands (i. during peak periods) the average delay per vehicle may be esti
mated from the fixed-time signal delay formula (equation (15) above). This
has been tested in practice at several vehicle-actuated intersections in the London
area and good agreement was obtained between observed and theoretical values
(see Fig. 24),
‘When the green periods are not running to maximum it is much more difficult
to derive a simple method for predicting the delay to vehicles. However, a few
computations of delay using the computer mentioned earlier have shown that
the delay obtained With a vehicle-extension period of about 4 seconds (jc. the
minimum practical value for older controllers employing fixed-time extensions)
is roughly the same as the value of delay obtained from the fixed-time formula
