The analysis was performed using Synchro.8 micro-simulation software. A total of 48 hypothetical scenarios, 24 scenarios for each design, were created by changing the&nbsp;approach volumes and turning percentages on the major / minor intersecting roadways to reflect different levels of congestion that may occur on any urban intersection. Total intersection delay, Level of Service, maximum queue length and volume-to-capacity ratio (<em>v</em>/<em>c</em>) were the&nbsp;measures of effectiveness used for comparison purposes. These performance measures were selected because they demonstrated the overall efficiency of the intersection design. The simulation results showed that the Continuous Green T-intersection operates the&nbsp;best under stable traffic conditions and that it is not an effective solution for signalized T-intersections under heavy traffic volume.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Periodica Polytechnica Transportation Engineering}, author={Zawawa, Ghayda and Naghawi, Hana}, year={2021}, pages={66–73} }
