Sub-problem 2b: Moe Road PM
peak hour - With Conditions
In
Exhibit 2-25 we show the
results from four runs (Datasets 18,
19,
20,
and 21). The first is a base case condition. In it,
we’ve used the
PM With intersection volumes along with an
assumption that there are no pedestrians. We used an
average cycle length that minimizes delay and balanced the delays among
the approaches. The delays average 21.2 seconds per vehicle and range from
10.1 seconds to 33.5 seconds. The average queue lengths range from 0.2 to
11.1 vehicles and the 95th-percentile queues are double that.

The second run looks at the effects of uncertainty. What happens if the
site generated traffic is 30% more than predicted. We see that the average
delay increases slightly from 21.2 to 23.9 seconds. The three critical
moves (as can be seen from the base case) are the eastbound through, the
westbound left, and the northbound approach. These have the highest delays.
In the second run, we see that two of these moves have major changes
in delay: the eastbound through sees an increase from 23.8 to 28.2 seconds
and the northbound approach sees a change from 31.9 to 36.4 seconds.
