THE USE OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER TO MODEL A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION

A METHOD FOR MODELING A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION ON A DIGITAL COMPUTER IS DEVELOPED AND USED TO ESTIMATE DELAYS AS A FUNCTION OF CYCLE TIME, TURN FACTION, GREEN TIME AND CARS PER HOUR. THE METHOD IS COMPARED WITH OTHER TECHNIQUES AND A PROGNOSIS IS MADE FOR ITS FUTURE USE. /AUTHOR/
