Abstract
Explicit results are found for average delays and average lengths of red and green phases for a realistic continuous-time model of a two-street intersection operating with vehicle-actuated controls. The assumed arrival processes satisfactorily model both the random ‘bunch-gap' structure of traffic and the fact that vehicles have non-zero length.Keywords
