Abstract

This study presents an analysis of the level of servive (LOS) of the Lopez Avenue-National Highway intersection under different scenarios. It aims to quantify the delay and volume-to-capacity ratio. Combinations of different scenarios such as policy-related,infrasracture-related, and combination of both are considered. These combinations aretested whether or not it can alleviate the present condition of the intersection in terms of delay and capacity.After determining the LOS, the optimal signal phasing routine was optimized.The volume of vehicles obtained on atraffic count that was done using a video-recording device during the anticipated peak hour period was used for the simulation analysis using the trial edition of Synchro 6. Conflicting pedestrians were also considered in the study. Results show that the present LOS of the intersection is very low.The intersection delays are 649.6 seconds (AM) and 680.7 seconds (PM). On the other hand,v/c ratios are 2.96 (AM) and 3.24(PM) Itwas found out that the best combination to alleviate delay and volume-to-capacity ratio of the intersection was the combination of both policy and infrasracture related combination. It was determined that delay and v/c ratio from all the combination went down to 23 seconds and 0.9, respectively. The v/c ratios for infrasracture and policy related combinations were 1.2 ans 1.3 respectively while intersection delay for the policy-related was 124.6 seconds.
