Estimation of time delay functions for design of traffic systems

Abstract

Main aim of this research was to apply multiple approaches for the development of time delay functions on three highways in Bahrain, namely; Dry Dock Highway, Arad Highway and Zallaq Highway. Four equations were obtained from previous studies and two equations were, additionally, tailored for each of the three highways. The results were used to obtain two parameters that aid in design, optimum flow rate and level of service.
