saturationsflödet
Saturationsflödet, often translated as saturation flow rate, is a fundamental concept in traffic engineering, particularly concerning signalized intersections. It represents the maximum rate at which vehicles can pass through a signalized intersection approach under ideal conditions, assuming a continuous green signal phase. These ideal conditions typically include no opposing traffic, no pedestrians, no turning vehicles, and no heavy vehicles.
The saturation flow rate is usually expressed in vehicles per hour of green time. It is a
Factors influencing saturation flow rate include lane width, approach grade, number of lanes, presence of heavy
