Before anything else Read the manual carefully. It is
your homework What is covered in the following
slides is just general

General Determines LOS of lane
group/approach Measured by seconds delayed for
eachvehicle! Simplification of Highway Capacity

Collect the data Choose intersection
Signalized intersections Choose time of day
Usually peak hour Choose the approach
You may need to zoom in further to a specific lane group
Exclusive left turn is studied by itself
![Page 5: Vehicle Delay Study](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681683d550346895dde0a72/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Collect the data For illustrations let us study delay
of an exclusive left turn lane
![Page 6: Vehicle Delay Study](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/5681683d550346895dde0a72/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Collect the data First observer counts and records
the number of vehicles stopped on the left lane for each 15 seconds interval
A vehicle is counted more than once in the delay determination if it is stopped during more than one sampling time.

Collect the data The second observer performs a
separate tabulation of the lane volume for one minute intervals by classifying the vehicles as either stopped or not stopping.
At least 350 cars must be counted

Numbers in that column can’t be true!

Data Analysis Two calculations are needed
General calculations For sake of LOS determination

Data Analysis For sake of LOS determination
Correction factors: acceleration deceleration Vehicles processed in less that 15 sec
All of that is accounted and used in the simplified way:

Calculations repeat this analysis for the other
approaches of the intersection Prepare a graphical representation
for the delay and LOS of each lane group
