Abstract: Study is made of delays to an idealized traffic platoon passing through a fixed time traffic signal. A number of possible delay patterns are identified by sets of inequalities on the cycle and phasing of the signal, and the arrival time and duration of the platoon. A delay function corresponds to each set of inequalities. This is then extended to the case of two platoons arriving per cycle. The paper indicates possible application of the work to comparison by computer of alternative signal settings for a street system (A).
