Sub-problem 1a: Analysis of the Existing TWSC Intersection

Step 1. Setup

In consideration of this analysis, we must first recall the importance of this facility as a multimodal corridor. The presence of pedestrians on this corridor will present some challenges for our analysis. In this problem, we will also interpret results from the HCM methodology, translating results that are mere mathematical equations to more meaningful results to present to the stakeholders involved in the project. Here are some issues to consider as you proceed with the analysis of the existing intersection and its performance.

bullet

What is the data that is needed for this analysis?

bullet

What is the level of service of this unsignalized intersection today? In the future?

bullet

How might you interpret the estimates of delay at an unsignalized intersection to acknowledge the limitation of the methodology?

bullet

What is the effect of pedestrians on the intersection?
