Finding the time taken for a vehicle at the back of the queue to clear the queue

This is not as easy as it sounds. This is because the time segments in the internal ARCADY model are not independent; the queues from one segment feed into the queues for the next segment.

ARCADY results include an output titled “Average delay per arriving vehicle”, which represents the time taken for an average vehicle to clear the queue. This takes account of the effect mentioned above.
