List of top Transportation Engineering Questions on Signal design by Webster’s method

The figure shows a network diagram for a construction project. The activities A, B, C, D, E, and F are represented by arrows and their durations are in the figure. The total float available for the activity E in day(s) is equal to ......... (round off to the nearest integer). 

A reinforced concrete beam has a support section with width of 300 mm and effective depth of 500 mm. The support section is reinforced with 3 bars of 20 mm diameter at the tension side. Two-legged vertical stirrups of 10 mm diameter and Fe415 steel at a spacing of 100 mm are provided as shear reinforcement. Assume that there is no possibility of diagonal compression failure at the section.
As per IS 456:2000, the maximum shear resisted by the vertical stirrups (in kN), as per limit state design, is ......... (round off to one decimal place).

A two-phase signalized intersection is designed with a cycle time of 100 s. The amber and red times for each phase are 4 s and 50 s, respectively. If the total lost time per phase due to start-up and clearance is 2 s, the effective green time of each phase is \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\) s. (in integer)
The lane configuration with lane volumes in vehicles per hour of a four-arm signalized intersection is shown in the figure. There are only two phases: the first phase is for the East-West and the West-East through movements, and the second phase is for the North-South and the South-North through movements. There are no turning movements. Assume that the saturation flow is 1800 vehicles per hour per lane for each lane and the total lost time for the first and the second phases together is 9 seconds.
The optimum cycle length (in seconds), as per the Webster’s method, is _________. (round off to the nearest integer)
A signalized intersection operates in two phases. The lost time is 3 seconds per phase. The maximum ratios of approach flow to saturation flow for the two phases are 0.37 and 0.40. The optimum cycle length using the Webster's method (in seconds, round off to one decimal place) is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\).
In a three-phase signal system design for a four-leg intersection, the critical flow ratios for each phase are 0.18, 0.32, and 0.22. The total loss time in each of the phases is 2 s. As per Webster's formula, the optimal cycle length (in s, round off to the nearest integer) is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\).
