Question 1

What is the formula for calculating total lost time?

  • L = N × t
  • L = N + t
  • L = N / t

💡 Hint: Remember that N represents phases and t represents time.

Question 2

True or False: Effective green time includes lost time.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think of what green time signifies.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A traffic signal has 5 phases, with each phase experiencing 4 seconds of lost time. If the saturation flow rate is 2400 vph and the critical volume during peak hours is 1800 vph, determine the cycle length.

💡 Hint: Apply the values systematically to reach the final answer.

Question 2

If a signal has a cycle length of 80 seconds, with startup lost time of 3 seconds per phase, four phases, and a critical volume of 1200 vph, how does this impact the effective green time?

💡 Hint: Think about the balance between cycle length and lost time.
