Urban approach with all kinematic inputs given
Yellow Interval Calculation
Calculates the yellow change interval for a traffic signal approach using the metric ITE kinematic equation. The template converts approach speed to m/s, applies perception-reaction time, deceleration rate, and road grade, then reports both raw and one-decimal rounded yellow interval.
