Introduction Traffic lights

Traffic lights, also known as traffic signals, traffic lamps, signal

lights, robots and semaphores. Are signaling devices positioned at or near road

intersections, pedestrian crossings and other locations to control competing flows of

traffic. Traffic lights were first installed in 1868 in London, United, now used in

almost every city of the world. Traffic lights alternate the right of way accorded to

road users by displaying lights of a standard color (red, yellow/amber, and green)

following a universal color code (and a precise sequence to enable comprehension by

those who are color blind).

In the typical sequence of color phases:

Illumination of the green light allows traffic to proceed in the direction denoted, if

it is safe to do so

Illumination of the yellow/amber light denoting prepare to stop short of the

intersection, if it is safe to do so

Illumination of the red signal prohibits any traffic from proceeding

Usually, the red light contains some orange in its hue, and the green light contains

some blue, said to be for the benefit of people with red-green color blindness

Single aspects

The simplest traffic light comprises either a single or a pair of colored aspects that

warns any user of the shared right of way of a possible conflict or danger.

Flashing Red: Treat as a stop sign. Also can signal the road is closed.

Flashing Yellow: Caution, crossing or road hazard ahead

Flashing Green: Varies among jurisdiction; can give permission to go straight as well

as make a left turn in front of opposing traffic (which is held by a steady red light), or

can indicate the end of a green cycle before the light changes to a solid yellow

Case study

Our team which consists of three engineers selected a series of intersection of

three, these three intersections are located on the road which link between Bangi

(UKM), Kajang, Sepakat, and the highway lead to KL as shown in the figure

below.

Each one of these intersections are consist of three legs (three phases) and all

phases have two lanes in each intersection.

As a work team after selecting these intersections we conducted the traffic

count survey for one hour for each intersection, and we found that the cycle time

of traffic light for each intersection is (120 seconds),(160 sec ),and (180 sec )

,respectively, and the all red for each approach ( 2 seconds ), and amber for each

approach ( 3 seconds ).

Intersection-1-

This is the first intersection linking Kajang, Babgi, and (UKM) as shown in the

figure below.

Calculation of cycle time: After calculation of cycle time with Webster method, the highest cycle time was for intersection 3 and it was equal to175 seconds. So adjust all intersection using Cycle Time 175 seconds.

Intersection 1: Cycle time = 175 sec Total of amber and all red time = (3+2) x3=15 sec Total green time = 175-15=160sec Phase 1 green time = 160* 0.44=70.4sec =71 sec Phase 2 green time =160 *0.37=59.2sec=60sec Phase 3 green time = 160*0.18=28.8sec=29sec

Calculation of offset time :

Offset time : L/S - ( Qh+ loss) Where Q = Number of vehicles queued per lane, vehicle. h = Discharge Headway of queued vehicle in seconds/vehicle. Typical value of h is 2 seconds / vehicle. S = Average Speed in meter in second L = Distance between intersections in meter Loss1 = Loss Time associated with vehicles starting from rest at the first downstream signal (2 seconds can be used as a default).
