Intergreen (clearance) time = all-red + amber time. Purpose: clear vehicles that entered intersection during end of green. Calculation: IG = t_perception + clearance time from last entry point. Includes amber (orange) phase (typically 3–5 s for vehicles to stop or proceed). All-red ensures no conflict. Effective green = green + amber − start loss.
