TRAVEL DELAY OF VEHICLES QUEUE AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL

Abstract

Mathematical modeling assumes that the vehicle’s volume has a uniform pattern. Due to traffic lightssettings, the number of vehicles queue grows linearly. The reality, the stochastic arrivals of the vehiclescould be (1) in the randomized arrivals, (2) in the form of groups/ platoon, or (3) in the mixed arrivals. Itis observed that the arrival of the vehicles in the queue tends to have a normal pattern. The objective ofthis research is to study the implications of the arrival categories to the travel delay. For simulation, ituses the numerical method referring to the real state. The result indicates that the calculations of thetravel delay become precise for all vehicles.
