QUEUING OF SIDE-STREET TRAFFIC AT A PRIORITY TYPE VEHICLE- ACTUATED SIGNAL

THE QUEUING OF SIDE-STREET TRAFFIC AT A PRIORITY TYPE VEHICLE-ACTUATED SIGNAL IS STUDIED. IT IS ASSUMED THAT A MINIMUM RED PERIOD MUST ELAPSE BETWEEN SIDE-STREET GREEN PERIODS. A DISCRETE TIME MODEL IS FORMULATED, AND THE STEADY-STATE DISTRIBUTION AND MEAN VALUE OF THE QUEUE LENGTH AT THE END OF THE CYCLE AND THE STEADY-STATE DISTRIBUTION OF THE SIDE-STREET RED PERIOD LENGTH ARE FOUND. SOME NUMERICAL RESULTS ARE ALSO PRESENTED. /TR/
