Estimation of Saturation Flow Rate and Start-Up Lost Time for Signal Timing Based on Headway Distribution

This study aimed to calibrate saturation flow rate (SFR) and start-up lost time (SLT) when developing signal timing. In current commonly used methods, SFR for one given lane is usually calibrated from many subjective adjustment factors and a fixed result. SLT is calculated based on the fixed SFR, wh...
