Varadero <br />Traffic Study <br /> <br />Page 5 <br />Future Conditions Intersection Analysis – Total Traffic Conditions <br /> <br />• Future total traffic volumes were determined by summing project trips and background <br />traffic volumes. <br />• Intersection capacity analyses were evaluated using the Synchro software. Access <br />driveways were included as part of the LOS analysis .Signal timings may be optimized for <br />future conditions analyses. <br />• For intersections that fail to operate at an acceptable level of service, improvements will be <br />recommended to mitigate the impacts of project trips from the proposed development. The <br />improvements are intended to mitigate project traffic impacts, the improvements will not <br />necessarily result in the intersection operating at an acceptable level of service. <br /> <br /> <br />Queuing Analysis <br /> <br />The potential queue at the projects’ drop-off areas was calculated based on the peak hour traffic <br />published by ITE’s Trip Generation, Ninth Edition. The project trip generation for the PM peak <br />hour (the critical inbound hour) was used for the analysis. A processing rate was used for valet <br />operations. Arrival flow rate from the traffic distribution were converted to a random distribution <br />using the Poisson formula (if applicable). The queuing analysis was based on the ITE’s <br />Transportation and Land Development publication – using Poisson arrivals and negative <br />exponential service time. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
