A traffic signal has a 60-second cycle length. For the travel direction of interest, the effective red and green times are 30 seconds each, the arrival rate is constant at 20 vehs/min and the saturation flow (i.e., the queue discharge rate) is 1 veh/sec.

a. Calculate the average delay (in seconds) for the travel direction of interest

b. What is the maximum length of a queue (in vehicles)?

c. Assume that works on the street are taking place downstream of the intersection so that only 20 vehs/min (in the direction of interest) can pass. Calculate the average delay [sec] caused by the street work to a vehicle leaving the intersection. Assume that the queue at the downstream restriction never backs-up into the intersection.

1. You are tasked with creating the ultimate modular home that can allow a person to survive in extreme temperatures.  This house must be able to survive wintering in the Antarctic,  monsoon season in Vietnam, and summering in the Atacama Desert. Due to the inhospitable areas this home model can be located, it must be able to function off-grid.

2. You've been stranded in the Salt Flats of Utah.  As you create your own make-shift shelter, what passive solar elements will you try to implement in your temporary home?

1-The following list of readings were taken in sequence during a levelling survey:

Readings (m):    1.163, 2.592, 3.616, 0.778, 2.348, 1.838, 2.469, 1.666, 2.893, 1.594   

The level instrument was moved after the fifth and eighth readings.

Required:

(i) Fill in the leveling table and find the RLs of all points.

(RL of the first observed point = 105.00m). Use R & F method and check using HCI method. Apply arithmetic check in both cases.

*Please solve it by detail.

  1. A surveyor completes a levelling circuit from a known BM at point A (RL = 37.730 m). At the end of the survey, the surveyor finds out that the rod person moved the graduated staff before a BS value was taken at the third change point. The levels obtained are as follows:  

1.857 (RL = 37.567 m), (0.983, 0.354), 0.571, 1.011, 2.151, (1.124, x), 0.890, (0.543, 3.178), 3.808.  

  1. Assuming that the misclosure for the level circuit is 0.000 m, find the probable value of the missing BS value x.   
  2. Is the value of x in part (a) acceptable? Explain. (1 mark)

Book the levels, including the value of x calculated in part (a) using the HPC method and show all arithmetic checks. (1 mark
